Percy Richard Glendenning/Glendinning
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.
re: Percy Richard Glendenning/Glendinning
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
