Ummm yeah I think it was June! She was born London and in 26 :) Joan Dorothy, or Dorothy Joan... I've always known her as Aunty Joan but at one point she was known as Dotty and Dorothy.

Sorry, I think I'm just confusing you more- so I'll leave it for now.

Just one point- It's good you have people/ family around to ask what they remember, but bear in mind that sometimes memories change overtime, stories get embellished or confused, or sometimes people kept the truth hidden. The fun in doing family research is to unravel the secrets of the past and find the facts behind the stories.

AustinQ - I have found out that Frank and Ellen Voller had a child name Dorothy, which is Daisy West's sister. Dorothy was 17 when she had Muriel Dorothy West so Muriel went to live with Frank and Ellen Voller as their child, pretending that Muriel was Daisy Wests sister - so Aunty Joan and Grandma Ellen had an Aunt Muriel themselves and believed Muriel was their aunt, but in fact she was their cousin. Muriel was an illegitimate child. We don't know who Muriels father is as apparently he left to be a sailor at sea.

When Ellen Voller died, both Joan and Muriel moved in with Daisy and Fred Graham.

Mystery of who Muriel is solved! Now to get back to finding Joans father lol.
