Norah Witchell was the youger daughter of George Bernard Witchell and Dolly . She is a cousin to May and Maud Witchell and not a sister.  Norah had a beautiful singing voice. She was very close to her cousins May Ride and Maud Philippens and my father Robert Grindley Southerton (Jnr) before the War. They were all interned together in Stanley camp during the war with my grandfather Robert Grindley Southerton.

Thank you for the corrections, I've updated the pages to match.

We don't yet have pages for all your family members who lived in Hong Kong, so please feel free to add any you'd like to tell us about: https://gwulo.com/node/add/person
