Notes - Agnes never married and had no children. She lived with a friend, Mary Watson, for most of her life. Agnes was a Lieutenant in the military. She may have been friends with Winnifred Brown in London. It is impossible to conclude from available evidence if Agnes and Mary's relationship was intimate. In that era it would not have been safe for them to have been out. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and honour what their relationship appears to have been.
On 11 Jul 1945, just a few weeks before the end of WWII, Agnes sailed on the Queen Mary vessel and arrived in New York City. Her next of kin was her niece Miss J McMeekin, residing at 12 Bold Street in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It appears the ship was commissioned as a military transport as all the passengers were military.
