Hi, I am looking for information on Robert Owen Hughes who served in the hong kong water police for a number of years 1930s onward his wife was Pauline and they had a child Dolores Ann born 1930. Robert came back to the uk after ww2 and a few years after in the 1950s traveled back to hong kong where he lived the rest of his life.

Davies took part in the escape from Sham Shui Po POW camp with L T Ride. Here's an extract from my brother Edwin's book:

Son of Alexander Wilson (Irishman born in 1860) a master shoe-maker and Elzabeth Wilson (nee Cook).  Became a civil engineer and worked in the Public Works Department in Hong Kong for some thirty years. 

Married at St John's Cathedral on 1913-11-19 to Hilda Wilson and had at last two sons, namely Farquhar and Ronald.

Ethel Olson appears in photographs with my 14 year old father, Reggie Warren, both in Singapore and in Hong Kong. She was married to my father's uncle, Charles Olson, and seems to have taken him under her wing to some extent after his own father, Charles Warren died. Although the family myth is of a complete rift between the Warrens and Olsons after the death of Charles Warren in 1923, a note from Ethel still exists congratulating Cicely Warren, wife of my uncle, Leslie Warren, on the birth of their daughter in 1927.

Governor of Hong Kong from 20 May 1982 until 5 December 1986.
