Also you can see his two grandsons,

颜長慶 Gan Tiang Keng

卒:1926   寿:50 (ie born in 1876)

颜忠隆(长隆) Gan Tiang Liong (ie born in 1877)
卒:1930   寿:52


So we think Gan Eng Seng father died sometime in 1877 (tombstone was mentioned erected in 1877), internet sources say his father died when he was 16 years old.
