missing wife
« on: Saturday 31 October 09 23:14 UTC (UK) »
I have a real conundrum. My dad, Thomas Pugh, b 1895. Falkirk. Served in WW1. Severely injured. Married Agnes Steel Liddle in 1917. They had 2 girls...Agnes and Margaret, in 1918 and 1919. The story now goes, she walked out , he puts girls in a home....Quarriers at bridge of weir. This is accepted due to documentation. It was said that (Agnes sr) was fond of the stage and followed that.In 1924/5 he went on start a relationship with another woman and my mum was  employed to nurse this woman and her 2 kids as  she was dying from breast cancer. after the death  my mum stayed on, eventually getting with my dad and they got married in 1953 after a declaration of Agnes's  supposed death. We all followed on at 2 yearly intervals. I only found out about the first 2 girls last month.
I was gobsmacked and sad. However they both went on to have good and happy lives. My dad had 5 nurses and 5 soldiers. as children. However....Agnes seems to have disappeared. Her grandaughter suggested to me that she may have changed her name....plus other careers that I won't mention. I've tried every avenue, as have her family.....any thoughts. Thanks.

I have learned that the 2 girls went on to have happy and productive lives. My dad's history I now of course know. The big mystery is Agnes Steel Liddle. Was it easy to disappear without trace in the 20's. Thank you for the help I have received by pm.  Kiss

Hi smeetoo,
I am following your post unfortunately i cannot help as yet.
I had to hop on and say hello as you are replying to yourself.
It is a well know side effect of Family History.
Speaking to yourself or in your case typing to yourself.
Good luck,
Billy.

Thanks so much Syl64. This is indeed the young daughter Agnes, but alas not Agnes sr. This info gives me another direction to follow. Grin  smeetoo.
