Deceased
William migrated to Hong Kong around 1886 and worked as a commission agent.
In 1891 he purchased/ bought into Brown Jones and Co funeral directors.
He had 9 children.
What I am looking for is the mother of the children / his wife. He was married in 1922 when he completed a passenger declaration into Canada and stated that his wife was home at Morrison Hill Road, Hong Kong.
He died in Government Hospital in 1934.

Thank you so much. Jane Dawson was his mother.
Is there any way I can get a copy or transcript of the Carl Smith Card 149041? Can I get a copy of the Will? Daisy Young is a new name to research. He certainly did live at 45 Morrison Hill Road, my grandmother mentioned that she lived there.
Thank you for your information.

I made a typo with the Carl Smith card number. It is 149051
The reference of the will is Will 143/1934/3886 as shown on that card.
