John KEMPTON [1886-1947]

Submitted by jessamcgrath on

My great grandfather, John Kempton, was the head electrical engineer at The Hong Kong & Whampoa Docking Co. Ltd. when he died in 1947. He married Florence Ann Nicol McAlpine on the 7th of August 1914 in Dumbarton, Scotland. They had four children; Anne Sinclair (known as Nancy in some records), John Ian (it looks like he went by Ian), Jean and Malcolm. According to passenger lists, It looks like the family move to Hong Kong around 1924, although we have pictures of The Royal Engineers in Hong Kong dating back to 1915 that could mean John Kempton (1886?) had arrived earlier.
