Sam Hop and Shek Hong villages

[wendy824]

Hi all,

I am starting my research to locate and visit my ancestral villages later in the year. I have the names of my parents' villages that I obtained from the Village DB website a while but cannot find a map on which they are located. Any help is welcome and appreciated

My father's village is Sam Hop, located in area 4.
Heung: Leung Tung Heung
Subheung: Tung Hou Heung

My mother's village is Shek Hong in area 3.
Heung: Sai Nam Kong Heung
Subheung: Sai Chak Heung

石巷 / Shek Hong / Shí Xiàng / sek6 hong6 / Is this Stone Lane?

Shek Hong Village/Shixiang 石巷 in Sai Chak Heung/Xizha 西栅 is in town of Doushan 斗山镇.

Address is Guangdong Province, Jiangmen City. Taishan City, Doushan Town, Xizha Village Administration, Shixiang Village 529224

广东省江门市台山市斗山镇 西栅村委会石巷村 529224

In Google maps, enter coordinates "22.0627, 112.8327" to locate Xizha Village, which is just outside of Doushan town center. While Shixiang Village is not in labelled in the map, belonging to Xizha Village Administration it must be one of the villages near Xizha Village. Xizha Village Administration includes the village of Huanzhou, to give an idea the extent of administrative region, more than 1km to the southeast.
