Public vaccinator October 20, 1890.

s/o Francisco Soares and Angela Vicencia Ozorio.
m. Iria Joaquina da Silva, d/o Eusebio Jose da Silva and Maria Theresa.

[There is a question posted on the internet, asking if Soares went by the Chinese name of Lam Fai-wing, and whether he was the grandfather of a Edith Lo (as has been described in "A Memoir of Hong Kong's Governance 1950-1991: Social Sciences in Asia", a book written by Eric Peter Ho 何鴻鑾, a former Secretary for Commerce and Industry. According to Annelise who posted to Geni: Lam was the son of Soares, and Edith Lo was the daughter of Lam.]

[1] The four were: Vicente Danenberg, John Charles Fisher, Francisco de Paula Soares, and Henry Benjamin Woodford.

[2] On May 8, 1897, the government, under the name of the Colonial Secretary, James Haldane Stewart Lockhart, posted a notice in the government gazette to recognize Soares' status as a registered medical practitioner. [This is rather interesting, not only the government did not punish him for practicing without a license, but also it gave him a license without an application.]
