My mum seems to remember the name Nellie and Heslop. ? why though. I never knew Ellen at all so I would say she died before I was born which was in 1968.

I keep looking at the birth certificate - maybe it isn't Joy. It doesn't look like the J in Peter John. ? Fay ? Kay. It is definitely ??y. Am now getting really fed up. Struggling to move forward.

Up to 1911 the middle names are listed and there is no Ellen Joy Brown.
After 1911 just the middle initial is shown so she could be any of the Ellen J Brown.
At least it narrows down the timescale.

Unless she was born with a different surname in which case there are these up to 1911..

I'm taking a guess on Joan's birth date as 1924 - 1986. (There were a couple of Joan Hopes in Basingstoke). Also I think John Brown was approx 1910. Still not much to go on - sorry.

I know absolutely nothing. My dad has never spoken about that side of the family. I only know this as I sent off for a copy of his birth certificate. He spent a lot of time with Joan (his aunt) who became Joan Hope.

The siblings referred to were Ellen's.....

Do you have any idea as to when Ellen Joy Brown may have died? This could help to pinpoint when she was born. What name did she have when she died?

Hi I'm trying to find records for my dad's mother. I now know that her name was Ellen Joy Brown. My father was born in 1930 in Basingstoke and there is no named father. Unfortunately I have no idea of her DOB but I'm thinking maybe she was a young, unmarried mum! The only relatives of hers I knew were her sister Joan and brother John. There may possibly be a Kent connection. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I'm struggling to go forward at the moment. Certainly her siblings remained in Basingstoke.
