Hi, I wondered if anyone could help. My grandmother Ellen Graham was born in 1934 and her parents were Fred Graham and Daisy West born about 1902. Daisy had a daughter called Joan West, then my grandmother was Ellen Graham and they had two other siblings Frank Graham and Phyllis Graham.

I'm massively struggling to trace back Daisy Wests family. Daisy West thought she was married to a unknown man and had Joan West, then found out this man was already married so Joan was out of wedlock. (We don't even know who that other family is so Joan may have other siblings we don't know!) When Daisy's family found out, they disowned her. We can't find out who Joan's father was as it was a huge secret. Fred raised Joan as his own and they never celebrated their marriage because the dates would show Joan to be out of wedlock and Fred not being her father so they never celebrated wedding dates etc. No one knew until Fred and Daisy died and they found a letter that said Joan had a different father.

Because Daisy was disowned no one knew about her family - there are rumours they were rich and had servants but there's no proof to this.

I am struggling to find anything other than Daisys parents were Frank West and Alice Voller. I don't know about any other siblings or anything.

Kind of hit a brick wall and wondered if anyone could help out or just get the ball rolling again, please?

Thank you so much. :-D <3
