I thought he might have been the husband of Mrs E B Barron, who was interned in Stanley Camp. But page 7 of The Hong Kong Telegraph, 1940-04-19 reports his wedding to Miss Agnes Rose Duckworth the previous day.

He appears on the 1941 Jurors List:

c   Barron, James Forman Electrical Engineer, H.K. Electric Co., Ld. H.E.C. Qrts., 2 Causeway Hill.

And on the Hong Kong War Diary site:

Barron, James Forman Private HKE Argyle (96)
