Husband[edit]

Family

New York Times bridge columnist Albert Morehead covered her participation as "Mrs. Wilkinson Wagar of Atlanta". --for instance, identifying the defending national champion women team December 3, 1941, p. 27 (where he named all three teammates in the form parallel to "Mrs. Margaret Wagar"). --P64 (talk) 20:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Based on newspaper reports of bridge competitions, espy NYT and NYHT, and google searches, I added that "As a competitive bridge player at least during the 1940s she was sometimes covered under the names Mrs. Margaret W. Wagar and Mrs. Wilkinson Wagar of Atlanta." Also "In one 1944 society column of The Atlanta Constitution, "Margaret (Mrs. Wilkinson) Wagar" appears in two of the three items.[7]" Was there a husband with surname Wilkinson? The coincidence with occasionally reported middle initial W is suggestive.

ancientfaces.com reports, apparently from Social Security data, "Margaret W Wagar (1902 - 1990) was born on April 6, 1902. She was born into the Wagar family. There are no known spouses or children on file for Margaret. Margaret died on January 7, 1990 at age 87."

death-records.mooseroots.com reports one "Margaret Wilkinson Wagar / Delaware County, Ohio / Born: April 06, 1902 / Died: January 07, 1990" --all as we say here

In general I have wondered whether ACBL (est. 1937) and its predecessors registered women under names such as Mrs. J. E. Folline, Mrs. A. M. Sobel, etc, and so reported their achievements in contemporary league bulletins. Do we see such names as Emily Folline, Helen Sobel, etc, because editors of The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge (from 1964) and ACBL electronic database (from 1990s; online from 2000s?) have worked to replace those names where identities are known?
