The Foochows Of Sitiawan (5) - The Family Of Ling Ching Mi After His Passing
The image on the left above was taken to mark the birthday of Ding Mgok Ching, wife of the late the Reverend Ling Ching Si. It was taken in Kampung Koh, Sitiawan with all the available members of the family but we have no accurate date of the occasion. She sits in the middle of the group with her daughter and third son, Ling Siew Pi, sitting beside her. On the other side of the daughter sits second son Siew Wah, father of our donor. On the extreme ends of the row stands granddaughter Hou Ding (left) and on the right, baby Hous Seng sister to our donor.
In the back row from left to rights stands, adopted dayghter Moi Zam Siew Kiu, Siew Lok, and Moi Zai possibly a maid or another adopted daughter.
On the floor are grandsons Hou Jiu, Hou Heng, Hou Seng, Hou Siong and two unknown.
The image above right is a similar but smaller family group which from left to right features: Siew Pi, Siew Wah, Hou Su, daughter Siew Giak, the matriarch, Mee Yan with our donor as a baby, Siew Lok, Siew Pi's wife and lastly what is probably the maid of Siew Pi's family.
