Son of Charles Herbert Whiteley Ah Kew and Helena Madar born abt 1905 Hong Kong. Married in 1929 Honk Kong to Grace Chum Oi Tye born 14 Jan 1906 in Carlton, Victoria. Charles remained in Hong Kong. At the start of the war he sent his Australian born wife Grace  and his two Hong Kong born sons to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. About 1970, he returned to Victoria, Australia with his second wife Ellen Roskilly, British born Nurse. They set up house in a  wealthy area of Camberwell, but did not remain. I woujld like to know what happened to Henry Whiteley Kew. Did he return to Hong Kong and is he and his second wife interred there?. His first wife Grace died in 1999, never remarrying. Her sons were not in any will, nor did they receive any money from their wealthy father. Does anyone have a clue? Val

Is this the same person as the Henry Kew that was interned in Stanley Camp ?

Yes, I believe he was interred in the Stanley Camp

I'll merge the two pages to this one.

John Black's list of internees at Stanley gives the approximate date of birth for "H Kew" as 1907, and his occupation in 1941 as "Dairy Farm".

The 1941 Jurors list has the entry:

c   Kew, Henry Assistant, Dairy Farm, Ice & Cold Storage Co., Ld., 7 King's Terrace, Kowloon.
