Her mother Agnes senior died in HK on 11 March 1931 aged 48. Sometime between then and 1936 Agnes Jane married the ill-fated David Lyon of Jardines who died Christmas Day 1941, aged 39, and appears elsewhere on this site. She and her father John were then interned in Stanley, where the latter is listed as the Managing Director of the Anderson Music Company Ltd. Whilst in camp Agnes met Francis Sidney Bertram Chisholm, about 8 years her junior, whom she married in camp on 26 February 1945. Shortly after liberation, in October 1945, the newly-wed Mr & Mrs Chisholm went by sea to the Isle of Wight (where Francis came from), where their daughter Wendy's birth was registered in the Oct/Nov/Dec quarter of that year. In 1953 the Chisholm family emigrated to Melbourne, Australia, where Agnes died in 1975.
