Hi

Ian

Ian - where do you get the name John from? I'd buy the certificate to be sure.

I think Charles died Hong Kong, not Shanghai. He was buried Hong Kong as per the notice I posted on the first page.

This is a list of internees from Hong Kong War Diary - scroll down until you find him. The ISH after his name indicated he was interned room 403 Stag Hotel.

These are possible children of Charles and Lucy:

LIVESEY Edward G China Shanghai 1911-1915
LIVESEY Frederick C China Shanghai 1911-1915
LIVESEY Harriet L China Shanghai 1911-1915
LIVESEY John China Shanghai 1916-1920

There are no actual years given

Hi
Edward George Livesey is the family line I am researching he died in the UK
John Livesey died at sea navy 1940 ship was bombed
Ian

... and I posted Frederick C's death on page 1

I wonder if this is Charles' wife?

CAMP STANLEY DIARY JANUARY 1945
19th JAN
Yesterday's paper says (re 16th) that 'over 10 bombs' were released at Stanley and killed 15 internees and wounded 34. (Who are the 34 wounded no one knows!)
Paper also says 'there have been painted white crosses, an international symbol representing 'no attack' on the roofs of the buildings.' - We are all looking for the white crosses!

Mr. C.F, Livesey died. and Mrs. K. Martin (wife of Rev. Martin) died about tiffin time.

Air raid alarm but no planes, though we heard one heavy one come over in the night.

The Stanley peninsula is on the south east side of Hong Kong.

The Stanley camp is written about here:
