Mr & Mrs SL Hidden are named top of the list of friends attending the June 1923 funeral of my grandfather, Charles Warren, but neither I nor my generation of Warrens ever heard them mentioned. As "Hidden" is a word as well as a name, it's not easy to search for Mr Hidden. He appears in the Jurors List of 1923 as Assistant in John Manners & Co. The Hiddens lived in Broadwood Road in 1920 when Mr Hidden was working for H. Stephens & Co.

C.E. Warren's friends, business associates and jockeys

Submitted by jill on Sun, 2015-11-08 08:24

Some of you may already know from my previous posts that I’ve been researching the life in Hong Kong of my grandfather Charles Edward Warren (1872-1923) and his eponymous company C.E. Warren & Co. (1901-1941). He died of pneumonia quite suddenly at his house, The Towers, Broadwood Road, aged 51, when my father was only 14 and at school in England. An obvious source to look for C.E. Warren’s friends and business contacts is the list of mourners and wreath givers at his funeral.

I had dated this photo as 1930s, as it seemed to be in the same sequence as the so-called "View to Kowloon" from the collection of Leslie and Cicely Warren. If the "View to Kowloon" was clearly taken in the 1920s, then this shot which is also from the top of Broadwood Road, may be 1920s too. Grateful for any opinions about that.

Eva Webb Anderson was the wife of the Wesleyan missionary doctor, Reverend W.J. Webb Anderson. Carl Smith records their marriage at the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Hong Kong in 1901. I believe the Webb Andersons retired from Fatshan to Hong Kong in 1916 and lived at The Cottage, 19 Broadwood Road until the mid-1920s, when they went back to England. I haven't yet been able to check the Ladies' Directories for this period.

The missionary doctor, the Rev. W. J. Webb Anderson M.B., Ch.B was one of the mainstays of the Wesleyan Missionary Church hospital in Fatshan, Canton, where he worked for over twenty years, according to Carl Smith. According to my father’s memory, the Rev Webb Anderson was one of the closest friends of his own father, Charles Edward Warren. This makes sense, as they lived next door to each other for about seven years.

Mrs Whiteley, 16 Broadwood Road

1920

This photo is labelled "Mrs Whiteley and her chow". As previously posted, the Whiteleys were near neighbours to my uncle, Leslie Warren and his family who lived at 19 Broadwood Road from 1923-1938. This chow may be a relative of my grandfather's chow, Bess, commemorated in various family photos.

William and Ellen Whiteley lived at 16 Broadwood Road and were close friends and neighbours to my uncle, Leslie Warren and his family from 1923 onwards. William Whiteley was manager of the company Der A Wing & Co. They were interned in Stanley Camp with their daughter, Joan, a nursing sister. (Information kindly supplied by Tony Banham.)

Any news of them post-Stanley would be welcome.
