"I am doing research on a Chinese woman who was raised in London, UK beginning in 1853, rescued from circus-entertainer owners by the Strangers' Home missionaries in 1855, and trained at the Home and Colonial School before returning to Amoy in the early 1860s on board the Jason (via Sydney, Australia). She intended to work as a missionary in Amoy (Xiamen), probably with a London Missionary group. She was Presbyterian. She had multiple names: Achuen Amoy, or Achuen Grace Amoy, or Achuen Grace Amoy Trefusis. Just wondering if any of these details are useful or if any information on your site might help me learn more about her missionary work in Amoy. She was born in 1846 and later married a silk merchant Edward Eaton. Thanks."
