From Sean's website we know that John Olson I had a son Charles William Olson, born in 1888.

Here's what we know about his working history:

Wife of Alfred Pike.

Born 1932 in Naval Hospital, The Peak. Father was ex-Royal Navy, Chinese Maritime Customs Officer. The family, along with the family of my father, were interned at the hands of the Japanese in Chapei Prison Camp in Shanghai. They were all liberated by the Americans after the surrender and were offered repatriation to UK shortly afterwards. My mother's family, minus her father (who chose to remain in Hong Kong), went back to the UK on HMS Belfast.

Arthur Cecil Warren was the fourth child of Charles Edward Warren and Hannah Mabel Warren. Like his brothers he was educated in Hong Kong, Canada and England. He joined C.E. Warren & Co., Hong Kong in 1923 the same year that his father died and at the same time as his elder brother, Leslie, took over management of the company. He had to return to England for medical treatment in 1928 or 1929 and died of pulmonary tuberculosis on 21 April 1930 at the Southampton Isolation Hospital aged only 23.

Firstly what an amazing site this is!

I came across it trying to establish the family of Cecilia Tarrant nee Millar. Cecilia was married to John Arthur Tarrant between 1900-1906.  John Arthur Tarrant worked for A&S Watson. There seem to be a couple of Millar families in Kowloon and I wondered if anyone knew if Cecilia was connected to them?
