Athelstan Holt WHITE [1871-1942]

Mr A.H. White was the brother of Henry Percy White and named as his heir. He is given in the Jurors Lists as working for Douglas & Co. S.S. His address is given as The Prince's Building, the same as his brother's. He seems to have arrived in Hong Kong much later than Henry White as he only appears in the Jurors Lists in the last decade or so of his brother's life. I don't know if he had the same involvement in racing. The Mr White who is given as a jockey was described as "one of the Shanghai contingent" - so probably not a relative of Henry and Athelstan.
