I am trying unsuccessfully to trace my great grandparents who were both English but living in Hong Kong between 1879 and 1898.
My great grandfather, Alfred Mann was a police inspector in the Naval dockyard of Hong Kong, my great grandmother Sarah Rebecca Beal was working in a Hospital, that is all I know.
I do know that my grandmother Lily Jane Mann was in England living with her mothers brother when she was 12 years old. What became of her parents in Hong Kong or how she came to England I have no idea.
Where can I look, I have tried the government of Hong Kong, Thoughts please?
