| note |
Martha Saul, née Medhurst, was known affectionately as Toddles. She was married to Robert Powell Saul, a merchant. William Thomas Bridges went to Hong Kong in 1851, where he had a lucrative legal practice and engaged in money-lending at high interest rates, and founded the Deacons law firm. During his time in Hong Kong, he acted as attorney-general and colonial secretary when the office-holders were on leave. In 1861, after being implicated in a number of scandals in 1859, Bridges left Hong Kong, returning England. |
