Lorna Hazel Agnew was born in 1904 at Tairua, Coromandel, New Zealand. She is believed to be the daughter of Gordon Agnew and Ellen Morrison (and not Gordon's wife Letitia)[1] although no birth registration record has been found for a Lorna Agnew or Lorna Morrison.
Lorna Hazel Agnew married Patrick George Pascoe (from Queensland, Australia) in 1922 in New Zealand.[2] They had three children: Shirley Pascoe, Roy Pascoe, Barry Pascoe. They appear to have travelled between New Zealand and Australia on several occasions after they married.[3]
Lorna and Patrick appear to have separated about 1930 when Patrick was remanded for failing to maintain his wife and children.[4] They divorced in 1933.[5]
Lorna Hazel Pascoe married Archdale Henry Robert Magrath in 1933 in New Zealand.[6] Archdale Magrath had served in the New Zealand Navy in the 1930s and he served in the New Zealand Medical Corps during World War II.
