I am trying to trace a man called Joseph William Barnes. In 1875, he had a son named Francis Henry Barnes who was born in the Canton Bazaar. On Francis' birth certificate, Joseph is listed as a Sergeant in the Royal Naval Dockyards Police but I have no idea where I might find records that might help me to find out more about who this man was.
In 1947 Lyall Glendinning is mentioned with Talanglemos Ltd. Does anyone know what Talanglemos Ltd. was? Mystery surrounds Lyall, he was in the HKVDC, a POW in both HK and Japan, after the war he applied to live in Australia, but he disappeared c.1948, I believe in HK. Gradually piecing his life together, I have used Tony's website, the National Archives of Australia and family trees on Ancestry.com.au. Looking through jurors lists I have found he was an Assistant at Mackintosh's Ltd. Does anyone know what they were involved in? Any little clue would be helpfull. Thanks. <Read more ...>
