Is there some place in HK where marriages were registered abt.1917 -1920? In particular I am looking for Percy Richard Glendinning who married Elsie Hillier, not sure of date or even where, but Joyce Glendinning their daughter was born in HK in 1920.

I have searched NSW BDM in Australia without success. Thanks.

Hi Sandra, If you go to this page: http://gwulo.com/node/9376, and scroll down to "They were born / baptised / married / died in Hong Kong ...", there are some suggestions of where to look for marriage records.

I tried a quick search through the local newspapers, but didn't see any mention of their wedding.

Regards, David

The above was his correct family. His brother was Walter Glendinning who 'gave away' his bride, Elsie Susan Hillier, who arrived in Hong Kong from Australia only two days before the wedding. .
