Spend some time (probably a LOT OF TIME!), searching the passenger lists of the ships. These can be found in the Hong Kong newspapers on line and the Singapore newspapers on line. http://hkclweb.hkpl.gov.hk/hkclr2/internet/eng/html/welcome.html http://newspapers.nl.sg/Default.aspx the search engines aren't that good, so don't just search by name, but physically look at the newspapers for the lists, it will be the only way. I've done this. Took me 2 years to find my relative, but I did - eventually! Good luck Researching Chater or Armenians in India and Hong Kong in 2010?

Minnie Nelson born 1873, Shanghai, believe her to be a British Subject, father Andrew Nelson. All I know of Minnie is her birth was 1873 in Shanghai and that she appears on the 1891 census in Wales. I have had no success in tracing her passage from Shanghai to the UK, can anyone help.
