After sailing to a new life in America in 1904 Agnes married Abner Reeves in New Jersey in 1906.
In 1920 Agnes applied for a passport for herself and her daughter Mildred and after her passport was issued in 1921 it can only be assumed she visited her family in the UK. Her passport application states that she intends to visit family in England 'as early as possible' which suggests that there was some urgent reason for her visit.
Mildred, who presumably visited her English relatives along with her mother, was the only child of Agnes and Abner. She was born on the 22 of April 1907 in Chatham, New Jersey.
By 1926 she was working as a stenographer and in July of that year she married Richard Sterling Shapter Jr. in Manhatten, New York. This marriage ended in divorce and four years later Mildred married Robert William Ely in Morristown, New Jersey. Mildred does not appear to have had any children and she died in September 1976 in New Jersey.
