Other Countries / Re: Help please with Alexander Gow and Isabelle alexandrine Simon in Singapore

Is anyone still looking for this information? I have some on Alexander Gow. I have a copy of his birth certificate. He was born on September 29th, 1868 at 4 a.m. in Brewlands Bridge, Glenisla. He died July 7th, 1943 in Changi Internment Camp, allegedly executed by the Japanese in front of his son John and daughter Janet. His wife, Isabelle Alexandrine Simon died in September, 1939 but I have no more information on her. I had also heard she was French but an earlier post here mentions a Charles Thompson Simon (her father?) which would not be a French name. Does anyone have any further info? I would be very appreciative of a response. We're trying to piece together as much info as we can but it is difficult with so much time having passed.

Hi, Alexander Gow and Isabelle Alexandrine Simon were my great grandparents. My grandmother was their daughter, Agnes Gow who married Tjong Tiong Oei. Agnes Gow died in Hong Kong around 1944. I have a copy of Alexander Gow's birth certificate as well as a copy of the internment register in Singapore. If anyone has more information on Isabelle Simon, it would be appreciated. Was she French/English?
