There are a couple of records for J T Manley in the Chinese maritime customs service record collection. The entry covering the longer period, 5309, says:

Surname: Manley
Forename: J.T.
Chinese name (simplified characters): 满利
Chinese name (full-form): 满利
Nationality: British
Date of first appointment: 01/08/1881
Position on first appointment: Watcher
Date withdrew: 1/10/1911
Port on withdrawal: Shanghai
Position on withdrawal: 一等验货员 (Examiner, A)
Mode of withdrawal: Deceased

There's also another entry, 1237, which has the same 'Date of first appointment', but says he was discharged on 01/09/1887. So maybe he left for a while and then rejoined.
