Have you thought of checking in the local newspaper for an obituary or condolence messages for Adam Hogg? That is how I found out the name of the fiancé of my great uncle Fred who was killed in WW1.
Best wishes, Judy :-))

I took my own advice  ;D but couldn't find any In Memoriam notices.

I did find a report of his death though. He died at the 1st Northern Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne "suddenly, of pneumonia."
Best wishes, Judy :-))

Found this site:

http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/1_edin/1_edinburgh_history_-_recollections_davidsons_mains.htm

The site is regularly updated (Home Page). If you're unable to determine if Adam is the one, maybe the owner of the site might publish a  recollection / message remembering Auntie Bo and asking if anyone recalls her sweetheart/fiancé who was lost in WW1.

Cheers
