How are you? I am one of the great grand daughter from the Laing's family in HK ,to be honest you probably know more than me about my family history,is it possible if you can give me more information ? My father never talks about his family ,and i was too  young to ask at that time,i hope i can get in touch with any of them .

Looking forward for your reply ,thank you .

Laing Family

Hello Agnes,

how nice to hear from you.  I don't know much about the Laing's but I know a lot about the Jordan's.  Can you tell me who your parents and grandparents were please?  Since this is not a genealogy forum maybe you can email directly and we can discuss further:   l i z  at  chater-genealogy dot com (I have spelt it this way to deter spammers you need to replace the at with @ and dot with .

Look forward to hearing from you.

best wishes

Liz

Laing Family / genealogy forum

Hi Liz & Agnes,

Though this isn't strictly a genealogy website, discussions about families that lived in Hong Kong are very welcome. If the Laing family fits that description, and the information isn't sensitive, feel free to carry on the conversation here.

Hi Agnes, Are you related

Hi Agnes,

Are you related to the late Dr. douglas Laing?

According to Peter Hall's "IN THE WEB", Douglas Laing was the son of Robert Kenneth Laing (Leung Kam Ming) (b.1876 d. 1949) and his wife Mary (nee Jordon) (Yu Che) (b. 1877 d. 1956)

Laing

Hi Agnes,

My wife is the daughter of Dr Douglas Laing 1902-1999.  He was born as Leung Kwok Cham and changed his name to Douglas Laing 29/04/1920.  His father was Leung Kam Ming (later Robert Kenneth Laing) 09/08/1876 who was married to Mary Yu Che Jordan 19/07/1877-17/02/1958.  She can be traced back through several Jordan generations via Liz Chater's wonderful website, in the Jordan section.

Douglas had 6 siblings Alice, Bertha, Cyril, Eva, Freddie and Gertrude.  From the alphabetical order of their first names I assume the whole family changed names at the same time.

Dr Laing was an ENT surgeon in HK and prominent in the Royal HK Jockey Club.

Dr Laing was extremely reticent to discuss his ancestry, as were many Eurasians who lived in HK pre WWII.  I have little succes following up his paternal line.

If this is the Laing family you are looking for feel free to get in touch with me at hamilton.keith@gmail.com.

Dear Annelisec,

Can you please email me seperately as there are certain things in the family tree that is incorrect, expecially the husband of my grand mother.

Thank you,

Sincerly
