I always thought Margaret Schroeder could be the family that Tom has in America
OMG, I have now adopted this as my own headcanon, so thank you. Tom even wanted to give America a go!He would’ve lost track of Margaret (his side of the family never being that close to hers - not that they’d want to speak about her), so he doesn’t know of her married name.Seeing an opportunity to visit America, he offers to accompany Edith to Atlantic City. Seeing an ally in her brother-in-law, she confides in him the real reason for her trip. AND THEN THINGS HAPPENNNN.
