In my amateur research of wine history in Hong Kong, I come across below advertisement in 3 July 1844 of “Friend of China and Hong Kong Gazette” about Hemery Brothers wines :

” FOR SALE CLARET, $6 and $9; Red Burgundy, $12; Red Hermitage, $12; Champagne, $16; Port, $9; Sherry,$9; Cognac, $8,: Scheidam, $5; Curacao, $15; Noyau, $15; in cases of one, two and three dozen each, from Messrs Hemery Brothers, Jersey. Apply at the Godowns of Holliday Wise & Co. to JOHN RITSON. ”

Wonder if In your archive, there are any mention of selling wines to Hong Kong (China)? Do you have any idea how & why their wines were shipped to Hong Kong?

Happy New Year

I have a glass with his monogram on it, I have no picture of him but I have a couple of photos of his wife Anna Maria Jenkins. I understand he was lost with the 'Lovely Emily' in March 1822.

Daniel Sydal. I have found several references to him as captain of the brig "The Lovely Emily" , which also appears on your website as the name of a privateer ship owned by the Hemery brothers (1801). I wondered if you had any reference to the name Sydal in connection with this privateer. Many thanks Brian Hello
