In 1895 their first child, Annie, was born in Denton, Lancashire, now Greater Manchester, three miles from Hyde, Cheshire, where Aggie's uncle, John harper, had his building company. In 1901 they lived in Audenshaw, also close to Hyde, where George was a foreman bricklayer.

The Lunds emigrated to Australia, with William and Freddie, and lived in Macquaire Street, Sydney. It seems that their eldest child, Annie, did not appear to go with them. Agnes died in 1959 in Sydney.
