Hi,

As a new poster I just wish to say thank you to your site for the invaluable information  I found when searching for the grave of my aunt. Your reference number lead me straight to the grave when I visited Hong Kong in March 2014.

My aunt Jeannie Chapple was killed in a car accldent in Hong Kong on 27/12/56 at the age of 25. She was the oldest child in a family of eight and helped to bring up her younger siblings when her mother died in 1946. She married an army man and he was posted to Hong Kong when the accident happened.
