Agnes and Lily were said to be tall for their age, were fairly intelligent and were well-behaved. Mother, Sarah Agnes Mary Martha (Woodcock) Lane, was living at 334 Queen's Road, Plaistow, England.

On April 12, 1905, Agnes changed situations to Dundas, Ontario, and on October 12, 1906, left to go to Hamilton, Ontario, and on December 6, 1906, was reported to be married to Wilfrid Davis of Hamilton,. On September 30, 1907, her sister, Lily, wrote and told of Agnes being married and having had a nice little baby boy.

On February 10, 1908, their mother, Mrs. Lane, 29 Crestbury Road, Katherine Road, Forest Gate East, wrote enquiring about girls saying she had some news of importance for them, asked for addresses and photos, and said she had some relatives in Canada who will look them up.
