HIE TOY June

Description

Biographical informationHie Toy June was the son of William Hie Toy and Chie Hie Toy. He was the brother of Wing Hie Toy and nephew of Suey Sing.

He worked as a grocer at W. Hie Toy in Murray Street, Perth. His father William died in February 1904. Letters of administration indicate that Peter Fan Gett (Fangett) and Suey Sing also had an interest in Hie Toy's estate. Suey Sing was June Hie Toy's uncle and a partner in W. Hie Toy.

In November 1916, June Hie Toy applied for permission to sell two pieces of land owned by William. At this time, Peter Fan Gett's address was unknown and it was believed he had returned to China around 1904. Similarly, Suey Sing's address was also unknown but it was believed he returned to China at least ten years prior.

June Hie Toy was successful in being granted permission to sell the land: a 4 acre portion of Canning Location 1 as shown on Certificate of Title, vol. 599, folio 133 and a 5 acre portion of Canning Location 2 as shown on Certificate of Title, vol. 599, folio 189. Both pieces of land were valued at £60 each.
