Marriage/Death record from Hong Kong
« on: Wednesday 23 September 09 18:16 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to trace a Claude Gabriel Wilson who was a prison officer in Hong Kong in the 1950's. He was born in Ireland. Does anyone know how I can view BMD records online from Hong Kong?

I know he was travelling between Southampton and Hong Kong as I have ship manifests with him on them but that is it

have you looked at the overseas birth indexes on findmypast.com?

(If he is there then just order the certiifcate from the GRO as normal)

My parents were married in Hong Kong or Kowloon (they were living there) in 1953.
I contacted the Dutch consulate who forwarded my email to the relevant document centre. They advised me that they had the details and it would cost Australian $180 which I think is rather expensive. No information forthcoming unless you pay for it.

Hi Aylala,
$180 Aus  is obscene for a marriage cert- or any type of cert for that matter.  Shocked Shocked Shocked
