Hi

I have no idea which board to post this on as there isnt a board for Asia! Sorry if it is the wrong one.

Does anyone know if it is possible to find out about British Subjects in Shanghai in the 1870's? My great grandmother was born in Shanghai in 1873, called Minnie Nelson, her father was called Andrew Nelson and a sailor as far as I know. I do not know her mother's details but there is a possibility her surname was either Thomas or Rogers. I think they may have also lived in the Hankow area as well at some point. I would really like to trace who Minnie Nelson's mother was.

Many thanks

Vicki
