Here's a puzzle for Moddsey! The picture shows my mother Peggy, sitting in the pram and her older sister Patsy standing next to her. On the back of the photo are the words "Peggy and Patsy - Kowloon Park".Is it really?

My mother was born on June 25th on the Peak - can anyone place the buildings behind the girls. I think I can make out one or two 'black & white' amahs? It also looks quite cold. I suppose it might be November or December 1930?

This photo taken in the garden of the China Maritime Customs officer's accommodation in Hai Nan Island, in the 1930's.  My mother, Peggy and her sister, Patsy are playing with their 'pet' - a gibbon they used to dress up in their dolls' clothes! The little boy, I assume, was the son of one of their household staff? My grandfather was an officer for the CMCS and worked in many ports from Hai Nan Island to Shanghai.

This is a photo of my Grandfather, George Flynn with his 2 daughters, Peggy and Patsy, in the garden of their China Maritime Customs accommodation on Hainan Island. The photo would have been taken in the mid 1930's. My mother was born in Hong Kong in 1932, but the family were moved about frequently from various ports operated by the CMCS.

The gentleman in the centre of this photo is George Flynn, my Grandfather, who was a member of the China Maritime Customs. The notes on this photo state that it was taken in "Sum Chun" in 1932 - and that one of the other men was called Reggie Hill? My Grandfather was ex-royal Navy and ended up working for the CMCS in numerous ports from as far south as Hainan to Macau, Hong Kong and Shanghai in the north.
