Hello,
I am stuck as where to look for this family. Please can anyone help?
John Dickie b. 1859 Cumbrae, Buteshire, Scotland.
Emilia (Emily) b. c1869 China - his wife.
Frederick J. Dickie b. c1887 Hong Kong - son
James D. Dickie b. c1890 Hong Kong - son
They are on the 1891 Census in Greenock, Scotland, but John isn't there. Emilia (Emily) is classed as married.
I don't know where he was or where the family went to after that.
How can I find if they went back to Hong Kong and can I find the births of the children?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Inchworm

Births of the children would be in the overseas birth indexes, I should think (these are online at www.1837online.com). Possibly also the marriage of Dugald and Emilia.
Do you know Dugald's occupation?
There's a James Dugald Dickie on documentsonline, WWI medal roll. 'Royal Engineers Inland Water Transport', a Lieutenant. Could this be James D?

Thank you for your help. I will try the overseas births at 1837.com
Yes, the James Dugald Dickie looks promising. I will check him out. All I had to go on was the 1891 Census in Scotland.
Thanks,
Inchworm

Have now found them on the 1901 Census in Scotland.
I have looked on the overseas Birth and Marriage Registers, but none of them are there. 
Does anyone know where I can go from here to find the Births in Hong Kong or the marriage.
Regards,
Inchworm

Hmm... if they weren't registered with the UK authorities you'd have to attempt to find local records, maybe try contacting here?
http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/address_5_1.htm
From the 1901 census, is the occupation given of the father? Some occupations can lead you to other records - particularly if he was military or merchant seaman.
Did they have any more children in Scotland? That at least could help you find Emilia's maiden name.

His occupation was given as "Sugar Boiler" on his death in 1901 in Greenock, Scotland. I guess he worked in the local factory. His wife Emily or Emilia was b. c1869 in China and she died 1896 Greenock, Scotland. Her parents both had German sounding surnames. i.e Focken and Beisgel.
The 3 children are on the 1901 census in Greenock with Grandmother and without their father. They were b. roughly between 1887-94.
