~~I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book. [UPDATE: That project is now finished.]~~

His dates of birth & death are given in the family tree at: http://www.apac16.dsl.pipex.com/tree/fam/Lindsell.html#914KRL. Unfortunately there aren't any contact details to get in touch with the person maintaining it.

Most mentions of H. E. Wodehouse are in connection with his son, the author P G Wodehouse. But I'm interested in H. E. because of his work as a magistrate in Hong Kong. I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.

I've got one possible source, but if you know of any other photos, please let me know.

James RUSSELL [1842-1893]

I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book. He started out as a Hong Kong Government Cadet in 1865, before being appointed as Police Magistrate in 1870, replacing Goodlake. He left Hong Kong in 1892, and by then he was Chief Justice and had been knighted [1].

There aren't any results for russell in the photo search at HKPRO. He served with Legco, but they don't have a photo [3]. No relevant results for russell hong kong in the UKNA.

Dates of birth & death given by Shiona M. Airlie in the Dictionary of Hong Kong Biography.

He is well connected to the Central Police Station project, as he was Captain-Superintendent of Police, and also superintendent of Victoria Gaol.

Some odds and ends from the web:

Walter Meredith DEANE [1840-1906]

I'm looking for photos of Walter Meredith Deane, to be used in the Central Police Station project. If you know of any, please could you let me know in the comments below?

He's of interest because he was the longest serving head of the police force. The Police's "Offbeat" has an article that mentions him:

[...] when Walter Meredith Deane succeeded Mr Quin in 1867, a precedent was set of having a Cadet Officer from Britain to head the Hong Kong Police Force.
