Notes from Sally:

I am trying to trace a man called Joseph William Barnes. In 1875, he had a son named Francis Henry Barnes who was born in the Canton Bazaar. On Francis' birth certificate, Joseph is listed as a Sergeant in the Royal Naval Dockyards Police but I have no idea where I might find records that might help me to find out more about who this man was.

I was born in January 1934 in Victoria Hospital and was brought up in, I
believe, 4, Braga Circuit, Mong Kok. My father, according to the KGV School History, joined the staff of the then Central British School in 1930 where, I  presume, he met Clair Couper Munro, also a teacher, who would become my mother. My problem is that I have no clue as to how or where they either met or married!

In 1947 Lyall Glendinning is mentioned with Talanglemos Ltd. Does anyone know what Talanglemos Ltd. was? Mystery surrounds Lyall, he was in the HKVDC, a POW in both HK and Japan, after the war he applied to live in Australia, but he disappeared c.1948, I believe in HK. Gradually piecing his life together, I have  used Tony's website, the National Archives of Australia and family trees on Ancestry.com.au.  Looking through jurors lists I have found he was an Assistant at Mackintosh's Ltd. Does anyone know what they were involved in? Any little clue would be helpfull. Thanks.
