James Agnew, my great grandpa married Carrie, my great grandma in 1879. There was an age difference between them. I had an earlier record of a James Agnew in the same place, New Albany, married to “Mary C” in 1870, & they had 2 children, ANNIE age 5 and CLITH age 3. I never knew if they were an earlier family? Did something happen to them between 1870 & 1879?
We just found an obituary for the eldest child of James and Carrie, (William Robert). In the surviving relatives, it lists a SISTER, ANNIE. This means that was the same James in both marriages.
so what happened to his 1st wife and son, Clith? Interesting. The mystery deepens.
