My great grandmother Lilian Lysaught with his husband Cattaneo Antonio and the son William named from his grandfather William Lysaught from New Market . They met at the end of 1800 in Hong Kong . They are in Carvico Italy , the village where Cattaneo were coming from.

Thank you for uploading the photo. Did the family stay in Italy, or did they return to Hong Kong again?
Lilian Lysaught son family
We are all leaving in the north part of Italy but I’m often in Hong Kong , last December I went to find the William Lysaught and Isabella Pereira tomb at St Michael’s cemetery in HK . I would like to fix it because a tree is ruining it.
Is someone interested in doing this?

Grave renovation at St Michael's
Hello Clara, St. Michael's have a list of charges for renovating graves. I had to have a tree removed from next to my grandfather's grave but it was much smaller than the one in your photograph. I will look up the company that I used (recommended by the cemetery) and come back to you. I may have put this information on Gwulo already! If not, it may take me a few days to find it. I think it cost about HK$ 6,000 a few years ago..

Fee for grave renovation
Re-reading Bob Tatz's 2015 account of what he paid for grave renovation, I think that the HK$6,000 must have been the down payment in cash, followed by a further HK$6,000 by banker's draft on completion of the work. The work involved the removal of a tree whose roots had tipped the grave to one side. It involved levelling and raising the grave so that the full inscription could be read and filling in the top surface with smooth marble, where there had previously been loose chips.
