China Sugar Refinery - East Point 1870s

Submitted by isioux on Sun, 2015-09-06 05:57

In trying to trace a possible relative listed in 1872 at "China Sugar Refinery East Point "- was that part of Jardine Matheson & Co ?

The books I've consulted don't go into this subsidiary company.

Did they ship sugar to Japan an bring back silk? Does anyone know where to find any records of the ships, the voyages and the Masters?

thank you for your help,

I am looking for any information on my grandfather, Hermann Lilienthal born HK 1858 and his parents. He left HK at age 16, arriving Boston USA 25 May 1874 with no parents. The only clue to his parents is Chronicle and Directory for China etc. 1872 , H Lilienthal listed at China Suger Refinery , East Point. My DNA would indicate that Hermann's mother was Asian. No Lilienthals in cemetery records, no Lilienthals in Juror Lists or Missionary listings. <Read more ...>
