Hans Skott business owner in Hong Kong 1894-1947

[Michel Houde]

I am writing an article for the Journal of the Hong Kong Study Circle dealing with a Danish company that operated from about 1894 to 1947. I have researched all the documents and newspapers availed online in Hong Kong.  I am hoping that someone can help me with several facts.

Hans Skott was the owner of H. Skott & Co. in Hong Kong starting about 1894. I found mention of the firm as late as 1947.
He was born 3 Oct 1861 in Copenhagen.

Married on 23 January 1914 to Emma Margrethe von Haxthausen.

Hans died 1951 at age 90.

SEEKING:

The date of Hans passing & where.

A biography of this long-time business man would be wonderful.

Any information about his business.

His partner was Christian Skott from about 1903 to 1916. What was their relationship? What are Christian's vitals?

Sincere thanks from Canada

Hi Michel

Hans Skott died at his home, Bernstorffsvej 10, Helleruplund Parish, Copenhagen County:

He was cremated and this death register does not mention where the grave is. But the grave on the photo reminds me of the part of Vestre Cemetary, Copenhagen, where a lot of well-off families are buried. I have visited the place, there are a lot of impressive memorials. And I have found a death notice in a newspaper from 1916: Hans Skott's daughter Eleanor (her name can be seen on the photo) is actually buried in Vestre Cemetary. So my "theory" must be correct:

Maybe this relative (great-grandson) of Hans Skott can give you more information:

The website on Myheritage belongs to him. He is on Facebook.
