Robert Agnew, 1884
I'm seeking information on my maternal grandfather, Robert Agnew,
born most likely in 1884.I have heard both that he was born in
Britain and that he was born in Massachusetts of British parents.
I have been told that he had a sister, Jane, who married a peer of
some description and lived her life in the U.K.Supposedly, my
grandfather had degrees from both Oxford and Harvard universities,
although what degree from which I do not know.He may have lived
for a time in Hawaii.In the late 1920s and into the 1930s he
lived in New Orleans, married to my grandmother, Clara Louise Bailey.
He was father of my mother, Rose Nani Agnew (1932), and uncle,
Robert Agnew, Jr. (1936).He disappeared around 1940, to turn up
several years later in Chicago, working as a journalist.He died
in Chicago in 1951. I would appreciate any information on his
family, exact dates of his life, etc.
