Hi,

I'm not sure exactly what information you're looking for, but there is some information about the evacuations if you go to http://gwulo.com/node/17008 and click the links in the "Pages" box. There is also general information about researching people who lived in Hong Kong at http://gwulo.com/node/9374

Do you know if your mother (or was Rhona your grandmother?) traveled the whole journey on the SS Taiping, or were on one of the Empress liners from Hong Kong to Manila?

What happened to Mr Sydney Simpson, who I guess stayed behind in Hong Kong?

Regards, David
