Hajee Mahomed Hassum Chiney | H.M.H Essack Elias are they the same person ?

Submitted by Salmandaw on

The foundation stone of the Jamia Mosque in Hong Kong mentions the name of H.M.H Essack Elias who was the sole declared donor for the mosque rebuilding, I however came across a Carl Smith Card that mentions that a Hajee Mahomed Hassum Chiney who died on May 31st 1919 had given $21,000 for the rebuilding  of mosque (doesn't mention which mosque). Is it possible that these are the same people , why do their names vary . the H.M.H could be hajee mahomed hassum abbreviated.
