Si Both the Cemeteries and Crematoria Section of the Food and Environment Hygiene Department and the cemetery office inside the Hong Kong Cemetery do not possess any historical records of the graves lying in the cemetery. The earliest Chinese grave that this author has come across there belongs to a 5-year-old child whose grave was erected in 1897 (S41 Section).
52 At the moment, no official document regarding this restriction on Chinese on entering the Colonial Cemetery has been found, though it is described in Knollys, Henry (1885), English Life in China, London: Smith, Elder, and Co, p. 18.
