William James Tutcher (married to Elizabeth) was Superintendent of the Botanical Gardens in about 1910 and died 1920 buried in Happy Valley Cemetary. His wife Elizabeth was headmistress of Belilios School and died in Scotland in 1947. In 1920 they lived at number 1 Peak Road (now number 1 Old Peak Road we think). We are keen to know when they were married and whether in Hong Kong or the UK. They had no children.
