I note with interest that HK actor, Anthony Wong Chau-sang (黃秋生), is still searching for his information regarding his British father, Frederick William Perry. It seems not much is known other than he worked for the Colonial Govt and left when Anthony was still a toddler.

I'm going to leave this here in case there is anyone reading who may be able to recall information. The BBC have a short video here: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-43215669/anthony-wong-hong-kong-ac...

There's a picture of his dad at 0:33

“Someone found this information of my father: Frederick William Perry, born 11 June 1914 […] arrived in Hong Kong in 1955 with wife Vera Marjorie, born 8 September 1919. One daughter, Vera Ann, born 2 December 1940; and twin sons, John William and David Frederick, born 29 June 1943.”

Looks like he passed away on 16th january 1988.
