Charles Gesner van der Voort's colleague Frans de Jongh started working in China much earlier than Charles, in 1919, in Shanghai, at Holland-China Trading Company. In 1930, Frans de Jongh and his wife moved to Hong Kong, and lived at 2 Chatham Road, where their daughter Anneke was born, in the same year. Later, they moved to Tianjin (Tientsin) and during WWII, they were interned by the Japanese in Weihsien camp.
