"Abdoolhoosen" seems to be an anglicisation of Abdul Hussein, as spelt on one of the Carl Smith cards that references him. The name "Abdoolrahim" is also an anglicisation. A. Abdoolrahim appears on the Jurors List for many years and seems to have worked his way up from clerk to draughtsman to architect. He is credited on the 1903 list of Authorised Architects of Hong Kong and founded his own company, Abdoolrahim & Co., 34 Queen's Road Central, which also  employed other architects.
