Paulo Xavier joined my grandfather's company, C.E. Warren & Co. Ltd. as a clerk in about 1922 and was a loyal member of the company until it was wound up in 1941. According to the last letter from Hong Kong written by my uncle, Leslie Warren, Xavier then got a wartime job as Accountant in the Government Food Controller's Office. He emigrated to the US in 1959. Information about him was kindly given to me by his grandson, Roy Eric Xavier who told me that Paulo was one of twelve siblings and that he lost his sister, Daria, in the Happy Valley Race Course fire of 1918. Leslie Warren's letter of 2nd May 1941 also mentions that Xavier had remarried the previous week and that he had children. I don't know how he lost his first wife. Paulo was the son of Libello de Jesus Xavier (1862 - 1909), who founded the Hong Kong Printing Press in 1886.
