DoB from John Black's list.
He was appointed as Custodian at Government House in 1912 (see page J42 of the 1913 Blue Book). The Blue Book for 1939 shows he was still there in the same position.
1314 explains the role of Custodian:
Entry in the 1942 list of internees:
| Beavis Miss E M | 29 | Teacher |
In diaries she's always referred to as Jill Beavis, but the official records list her as Elanor Mary Beavis.
John K. Lawson was born in 1886 in Hull, England and moved to Edmonton, Canada in 1914. He enlisted for service in WWI, and was assigned to the 9th Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre and mentioned in two dispatches. During the war, he rose to the rank of Warrant Officer and by the end of the war was a Captain. He participated in multiple battles such as The Somme and Passechendaele.
DoB from John Black's list, which gives Mr Brown's occupation in 1941 as "Engineer".
He's mentioned in the 1941 Juror's List:
| c | Brown, Frank Leader (Capt.) | Engineer, H.K. Electric Co., Ld. | 17 Bowen Road. |
Mr & Mrs SL Hidden are named top of the list of friends attending the June 1923 funeral of my grandfather, Charles Warren, but neither I nor my generation of Warrens ever heard them mentioned. As "Hidden" is a word as well as a name, it's not easy to search for Mr Hidden. He appears in the Jurors List of 1923 as Assistant in John Manners & Co. The Hiddens lived in Broadwood Road in 1920 when Mr Hidden was working for H. Stephens & Co.
His parent's graves are in the British Cemetery in Hong Kong, his father Thomas Henry Martin being the Superintendent of the GPO in Hong Kong at the time of my father's birth (1908).
I have just started the journey of tracking my father's side of the family, so any data you may have would be helpful.
Thank you.
