I was born on 21 March 1927 at the French Convent Hospital in Causeway Bay Wanchai and I wonder if this building still exists?  I am putting together a history of our family in Hongkong and would be grateful for your confirmation of the above request. Thank you

There is still a hospital on that site, run by the same organisation that ran it in 1927. See http://gwulo.com/node/10708 for map and photos.

The comments on that page say that some of the buildings have since been demolished and re-developed, but there may still be some old sections remaining.

There's also a mention of your baptism on 1st May, together with Eileen Ruth Andrews, at: http://gwulo.com/node/21929

The hospital has been extended.  The old chapel is still there.  I was educated at St Paul's and go back to HK often.  If you'd like a photo I can take one for you.
