Today there is 上環 Sheung Wan and 中環 Central, but the name 下環 'Ha Wan' also gets bandied about from time to time. Where is the approximate geographical area for it? Is it modern day Admiralty? Or elsewhere? <Read more ...>

I have been looking at the census returns recently and have yet to find one with names of people. There is a lot of analysis. But no names or addresses.
Thought the 1911 returns might be as we know them here in Ireland - we have one this Sunday - with families listed at their addresses and the various other information. But not so. Though there is even more analysis there are no names and addresses.
I wonder if there were other official lists kept of names and families and if and when census returns appear as we know them both here and in the UK?
I been looking at these for a while, so decided to start a record.
The table below shows the ones I've identified on maps, those definitely missing, and photos of milestones I've seen so far. Will put up the photos later. Table updated Oct 20.

I'm researching family history in Hong Kong and would like to know if the school registers for the Diocesan Boys School (founded as an orphanage in 1869) and Government Central School (now Queen's College) survived the Japanese occupation and are kept somewhere. Anybody know?
This is the latest Jurors List we're making searchable - here's how to join in, it'll only take around 20-30 minutes of your time.
The job is to take the previous year's list, then work through it page-by-page and edit in any changes so it matches this year's list.
Step 1. Check the comments below to see which was the last page someone has started typing. You'll work on the next page. eg if the last comment is "started page 7", you'll be working on page 8. <Read more ...>
