d'ABBADIE Family in Tonkin

Surnames: d'ABBADIE
In the 1880s and up til 1904, my grandmother's brother Jules d'Abbadie was a businessman (French) in "Tonkin/Tonquin" near Haiphong. From 1886 until 1888, his sister Lili, my grandmother, lived there with him. She subsequently wrote a book about Tonkin called Home of the Dragon, A Tonquinese Idyll. Jules died there in 1904. I don't know the exact date nor where he was buried. Is there information available for a French colonial cemetery in that area? Thank you for any help.
