William migrated to Hong Kong around 1886 and worked as a commission agent.
In 1891 he purchased/ bought into Brown Jones and Co funeral directors.
He had 9 children.
What I am looking for is the mother of the children / his wife. He was married in 1922 when he completed a passenger declaration into Canada and stated that his wife was home at Morrison Hill Road, Hong Kong.
He died in Government Hospital in 1934.
