I understand that The Armenian Church, Committee and clergy in Kolkata will be recognising and celebrating Sir Paul Chater's birthday next week on the 8th September by travelling to Hong Kong and conducting a service at his graveside. Further details can no doubt be obtained from the church directly. Email:armenianchurch@sify.com

The Peak Hotel

Submitted by funfunjoan on Sat, 2011-08-20 21:44

Can someone tell me the year when the Peak Hotel was destroyed by fire? Was it 1937 or 1938?

Also, was "Dunheved" on the Peak, the former building of the Peak Hotel? Was "Dunheved" originally built by N. J. Ede?

How were marriages registered ?

Submitted by annelisec on Fri, 2011-08-19 22:26

The HK Marriage Ordinance was passed or went into effect in 1875.

However, my impression is that marriages among 1st generation Eurasians who were brought up within Chinese culture were not done in churches and only perhaps in a marriage registry.  Do you think it likely that marriages from  1880 or so were registered ?

Preservation of Hong Kong's military buildings

Here's an interesting presentation from Lee Ho Yin about the different types of military architecture, examples of them that we can see in Hong Kong, and notes on their conservation. (Thanks to Paul Zimmerman for the link)

If you know of any other resources, please leave a comment below.

Did King George V ever visit Hong Kong? How about 1919?

Historical stock prices

Submitted by Compradore on Sat, 2011-08-13 08:41

Does anyone know where to find accurate historical stock prices for Hong Kong companies in the 1970s? 

The HK Economic Journal did not come into existence until mid-'73 and some of the other sources I have seen over the years do not seem very accurate.  It doesn't help that there were multiple stock exchanges at the time.  I am looking for information about market capitalizations, share price, earnings per share, dividends, etc . . . for the major companies like Jardine Matheson, Hongkong Land, Hongkong Bank and Hutchison.
