Alexander Badenoch, shipwright, was recorded as a resident of Hong Kong in 1844. He was said to have connections in Singapore also engaged in the shipbuilding business. He died in Hong Kong in 1844, at the age of 26 (or 28) and was survived by his wife.
Badenoch was born in Banffshire, Scotland.
There was another Alexander Badenoch existing in Hong Kong around that time. He was the captain of merchant ship Herald of Light, of which he owned 64 shares. I do not know if the two were related.
