Robert Duncanson, Doune

...the story is out there somewhere....https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C8082537

Maybe Robert and Nancy Agnes did not marry, if Robert and Lilian did not divorce. Although, if Robert and Lilian did divorce, she would be perfectly entitled to her surname of Duncanson.

Nancy Agnes shows as Mrs N A P Duncanson when she arrived in Australia in August 1949, just some months after the death of Robert.

I know I am branching off...but they have interesting connected characters in the past for sure 

Nancy Agnes' first husband, his name is quite distictive isn't it, Esmond Richard Roney. I wonder if this is him mentioned here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esmond_Roney

Added: His sister was also well known in the sailing community https://wikimili.com/en/Margaret_Roney

Yes, I think it must be. There are only two Esmond Roneys in FreeBMD, and the second one must be his and Nancy's son.
