Paul O'Brien Twigg B1824 in Shantung Road Cemetery Book

Through Google Books I found a slim volume, "Shantung Road Cemetery, Shanghai" by E. Eliiston which contains a bit of information about my 2nd great-grandfather who was the sexton there. Two of his children, Catherine Ann Twigg, who died September 25th 1863 at the age of 2 months and Henry Edward Twigg who died September 26th 1863 at the age of 4 years. There was a cholera epidemic that year so that seem likely to be the cause. Paul Twigg was paid 100 Shanghai taels per year and was himself buried in Pahsienjao cemetery. Below are the relevant excerpts from that book.
