David Olson RITCHIE (aka Sonny Boy) [1915-1991]

Submitted by jill on

The actual first name of Sonny Boy was not recorded by the Olson cousins, to whom he was most closely related. He was the son of David Hay Ritchie and of Ellen (Nellie) Ritchie, youngest daughter of the retired Swedish tavern owner, John Olson snr and his Chinese wife, Ching Ah Fung (later Ellen Olson). Sonny Boy was youngest grandchild of the elder Olsons. Sonny Boy appears in Hong Kong family photos that show John Olson snr with all his grandsons. The above photo shows him as a baby.

East India Company in Hong Kong?

Submitted by ob_terras_reclusas on

I have been trying to look for landmarks and places related to the East India Company in Hong Kong. I have a few ideas and I am wondering if anyone has any more suggestion/addition to the list below?

- Places related to the Parsees community in Hong Kong (though the Parsees were here before the British came, plenty of them were brought here by the East India Company later and also a huge amount of their trade were related to the EIC later on before the monopoly ended)
