WONG LEE SEE (female)

Description

Biographical informationWong Lee See was born in about 1893 in China. She migrated to Western Australia in May 1921. She was the wife of Felix Wong.

She had at least three children: 1) Peter Kam Yen Wong (b. 1919, China), 2) Fred Bain Quan Wong (b. 1922, Broome) and 3) Charlie Bain Quan Wong (b. 1924, Broome).

Felix Wong succeeded in getting paperwork to allow her and Peter to travel from China to Western Australia for three years. They arrived in Broome in May 1921. She was allowed one extension for a further three years but was then required to return to China.

She left in February 1926 taking her youngest children, Fred and Charlie with her. Because Fred and Charlie were born in Australia they were given Certificates of Exemption allowing them the right to return to Australia at a future date. According to Peter and Charlie's WWII service records, she was living in Hoishan, China at that time.Other nameMary Lill She (also known as)Le See (also known as)Date of birth1893
