Henry Ching writes:

Lily was a school teacher, and taught at the King’s College in Hong Kong.  She was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1930, at which time she was a senior mistress at King’s College and her husband Alfred Morris was headmaster. She returned from England to HK in mid-1948, but died in January, 1949. Her funeral took place at the Colonial Cemetery on 10th January, but her body was later cremated. Not sure where her ashes were placed.
