I'm guessing Foreign Office holdings for China, and Colonial Office holdings for Hong Kong. The Consuls were in charge of B/D/M, and there are catalogues at the Public Records Office in London/Kew with page after page of names of probates, burials, etc. There are some honorable and reliable researchers who work out of that PRO, and know this stuff really well. I'm using one now. Roger Nixon. can google to get him. Of course, things are a bit difficult in London right now.
Australians--have to clarify who had jurisdiction over them in China, certainly when they were in Hong Kong the British did, as they had jurisdiction there over everyone in HK. The key is to understand that the Chinese had really nothing to do with such matters, and it fell to the officials of each nationality to oversee their own, in all legal matters.
