What I find strange is that I cannot find any birth record for Hing at all.  There appears to be only one Liu/Smith birth and that is in 1951.

This is assuming that Dorothy Smith was Hing's mother.  As I said previously I cannot find any marriage for a liu to a Smith.

Do you know anything about Hing's mother?

Hi,

This has been our difficulty too and sadly we know nothing about Hing's mother or of any surviving relatives.

It's possible that Hing was not born in the UK, in which case, I'm not really sure where we ought to go next.

Kind regards

Terri

A lot of groping around in the dark with this one.  Any possibility that Hing abandoned Doreen and 'married' someone else?  There is this marriage:-

Marriages Sep 1975
LIU    HING K    TAM    WESTMINSTER    15   1853   
TAM    SUK Y    LIU    WESTMINSTER    15   1853   

It may not be your Hing but I thought I would flag it up.

It is possible. Doreen died in 1977, which is when H K Liu was described as her deceased ex-husband, so it could simply be that Hing was "dead to" Doreen. The only way I assume this could be confirmed would be to purchase a copy of the marriage certificate between Hing K Liu and Suk Y Tam, then check who Hing's father is listed as?

Kind regards

Terri

Yes, if you wish to confirm who the father of Hing is, then getting the marriage certificate is the only way.  Up to you to decide if you wish to spend £11 on it.

You will have to take pot luck on whether Hing's father is also Hing K.
