NOTE:- your chances of someone knowing the family and just passing by this thread are probably zero!
May I suggest that you enter the names in the Search Trees facility above (in the dark green band), and see if they are in any trees on this site. THEN you can contact the tree owner(s) directly.

Hey Choccy and Ginny, Wow that is fantastic to get all that information.We had no idea who James Williams parents were or his exact birth date.We knew that he married Ellen Harriet Thompson in Hong Kong and that they had two boys,George and James who is my wifes father. We did not know there was a third brother Thomas although my wife said she thought there was a mention of it but no proof.George and James moved with their families to Australia where they still live, although George and James and their wives have since passed. We would like to find the sons of George as they grew up in H.K together with my wife and her brother.
Once again many thanks
Alan
