The first of his family to die and the only one not to be caught up in the war, he shares a grave with his mother in the Protestant Cemetery in Happy Valley.

We found your website when researching 'Soldier of Fortune' information on Hong Kong location filming. My husband's mother Margaret Wheeldon Pugh was Susan Hayward's stand in. She always talked about rickshaw scenes if you could get her to talk about the film time (she considered it a lark). Unfortunately she passed away at 90 years old on Feb 3, 2017.
She was born and raised in Hong Kong and was one of first 6 stewardesses for Cathay Pacific. <Read more ...>

Isabel Agnes Allen was my father's mother. She also owned a women's fashion shop in Central in the early 1930s called Elite Styles. I think it may have been in Icehouse Street. She used to travel from Hong Kong to Paris and back again each year to bring back dresses etc for her clients.
My father was William Lewis Rapley, born on 26 Oct 1918 in Hong Kong. His father was Lewis Stephens Rapley (1885-1936) who was a manager at J. T. Shaw at the time. The address Isabel Agnes Rapley gave on my father's birth certificate was "Sea View", Wanchai Gap Road. <Read more ...>
