I believe that the above this man is my great grandfather who, family rumour had it, "disappeared in Shanghai."  I recently found the following entry "In loving memory/ of/ Charles Reginald Spencer/ who died/ Jan. 6th 1909/ aged 43 years/ Rest in peace#7463"  on the fabulous site http://www.hkmemory.hk/collections/hong_kong_cemetery.

I'm trying to find out more information about my grandfather, who was a British man born in Hong Kong in the late 19th Century. Information is scarce though. I have come to Hong Kong to research first hand, but only have a few days in which to do so. Does anyone have suggestions of where I should be looking? All I have are his name and birthday. I think I have his father's name, and may have found a reference to his mother in the 1895 women's list on this site, but it could just be someone with the same name. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have limited time left in Hong Kong.
