Mrs. Tan Kok Tiong nee Madam Gan Chin Neo (Bukit Brown)

Gan Chin Neo is a granddaughter of Mr. Gan Eng Seng. From a 6 November 1912 newspaper article, the engagement is announced of Mr. Tan Kok Tiong (5th son of the late Mr. Tan Jin Hock) and Miss Gan Chin Neo (granddaughter of the late Mr. Gan Eng Seng, once a great supporter to the Anglo Chinese Free School). I believe she is then the daughter of Gan Tiang Tok because when Mrs. Gan Tiang Tok nee Cho Beng Guat passed away on 2 July 1941, Tan Kok Tiong was mentioned as the son-in-law. 

Madam Gan Chin Neo passed away at No. 87 Amoy Street on 1 August 1928. She is the wife of Mr. Tan Kok Tiong of the Straits Times Press.
