Editing Patrick Troughton (section)

==Personal life==
Troughton married his first wife, Margaret Dunlop, at the Union Church at Mill Hill on 3 September 1943.

Troughton started living a double life when, just after the birth of his third child in 1955, he chose to leave Dunlop and their three children (then aged eight, five, and a few months) to live with girlfriend Ethel Margaret "Bunny" Nuens, with whom he also went on to have three children.<ref name=YorkPress>{{cite news|last=Lewis|first=Stephen|title=Who are you?|url=http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/archive/2005/03/24/York+Archive/7867529.Who_are_you_/|access-date=26 March 2013|newspaper=York Press|date=24 March 2005}}</ref> Troughton maintained a deception of having stayed with his original family that was so successful that his own mother died unaware of the separation in 1979, 24 years after Troughton had left Dunlop. Because of the disastrous drama Troughton caused during his divorce from Dunlop, his first daughter, Joanna, vowed never to speak to her father again. Their differences remained unresolved at the time of his death in 1987.<ref>{{cite web|last=Horne |first=Marc |url=http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/319747/The-shameful-secret-of-Dr-Two-families |title=The shameful secret of Dr Two families &#124; UK &#124; News &#124; Daily Express |publisher=Express.co.uk |date=13 May 2012 |access-date=6 April 2014}}</ref> While Troughton never married Nuens, in 1976 he did marry Shelagh Holdup and acquired two stepchildren.<ref>Troughton – Holdup 1976 marriage at https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl?start=1976&end=1976&sq=2&eq=2&type=Marriages&vol=14&pgno=1435&db=bmd_1525739307&jsexec=1&mono=0</ref>
