Wedding in Shanghai, Philip Harding Klimanek and Zoia Serjevna Kojevnikova, 1922

Submitted by Charles in Shanghai on Wed, 2020-09-16 00:20

Philip Harding Klimanek (1883-1965) was born in the Czech Republic, at the time his place of birth was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In ca. 1905 he started to work for Holland-China Trading Company, in Hong Kong.

She appears in the cemetery record (along with her infant son Peter).

What I am seeking is her marriage to Allan Wheeler around 1920-23. I have had a formal search done by the records office for St Andrews Church, which my mother (her daughter) believed to be the place, but with no result. I have checked the cathedral transcriptions on this site, and they are not in that. What I don't know, therefore, is which church — and I don't know which churches were there in the 1920s, nor whereabouts they lived. <Read more ...>
