Hi,
Would anyone have any knowledge of Chin Fook Lim? He was Cantonese, born 7th September, 1882. I understand he came to Port Darwin,Australia about 1894 (12 yrs of age) and stayed there for about 9 years. He would have been about 21yrs when he went to Western Australia, where he had various careers - cook, tailor and then general store keeper. His wife was Sui Yui Kwun, I believe, and he had a daughter Ruby, I think. Did he have family in Darwin? Did he return to Canton? Anything would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
