It's probably my tree!

Margaret Heang died 11 Feb 1899, aged 39 and is buried in Hong Kong Happy Valley Cemetery, section 5.

I haven't been able to find where or when James Heang died but my guess is in Hong Kong, and is probably after 1899 as he is named on Margaret's gravestone as Beloved wife of....

Lillian Eva died in 1958 in England - she used her mother's maiden name (Evans)

William, James and George all ended up in Queensland, Australia in the Townsville area. William died in 1978 and has descendants. James both died in 1933 and didn't marry or have descendants.

If anyone knows anything more about James Heang (Chen Ah Heang), I'd be interested to know. I have an approximate birth year of 1844 from his age given when he married Margaret Evans. He was a storekeeper in the tin mining area of North East Tasmania around the Weldborough area.

Cheers,

Helen
