I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.

Details of birth & death taken from the Dictionary of Hong Kong Biography. It also mentions that he was Police Magistrate between 1881 and 1882, which is his connection with the CPS project.

My grandfather, Archibald Hill Ferguson, was the manager of the Chartered Bank. He and his family lived at Charter House  from about 1920 until 1932 when he became chief manager of the bank in London. The photo shows him, my grandmother Helen McEwan Ferguson (an American from Seattle) my aunt Eleanor (the elder child) and my mother Marjorie.

Wright-Nooth uses the spelling Kinlock in his book Prisoner of the turnip heads, but official documents use Kinloch.

John Black's list gives Kinloch's occupation in 1941 as "Police".

Barbara Anslow writes:

[On the ground floor of the Tweed Bay Hospital was] a small room which eventually housed an internee, Mr. Albert Frain, who sadly lost his senses and was looked after by a male nurse.

It's not clear whether Mr Frain had the breakdown before December 1941, or if it was brought on by the fighting / internment.
