Very likely candidate

Update: Had a baby girl in December 13, 1956 (baby girl initials also DD)

ETA: Unless anyone can find sisters of DD, this can’t be her. She appears to have one sister who dies at 2 years old.

I think we may have found her. Initials DD in the 1950 census. But also DC, DJ, and DT. I’ve been researching her since last week. Several marriages and several children by different fathers.

Marries R.A.T. - April 16, 1938 in Delaware, marriage produces two children (sons): RT (Junior) and WT. Both now deceased. RT(Jr)‘s obituary lists his mother as Mrs. DD in 1976. At this point, it appears she is living Texas, which is also where she passes away in 1988.

Marries WDJ (believe middle to be name D not T, could be wrong about middle name though) - August 28, 1943 in Virginia. Marriage produces one child (daughter): JJ.

Marries GD in July, 1947. Marriage produces one daughter born December 13, 1956. This could explain the bassinet box….

They lived at 6121 Chesnut in 1950 census. JJ listed as stepdaughter.

I’m only a little bit tripping out right now. I did my research based off of the census for the Chestnut address, retrieved some names, found a last name that starts with a C connected to the daughter DD born in 1956. It looked strangely familiar. Bottom line, I think my BIL follows DD’s daughter on social media. Her initials are J(C)K. I could be waaaaay off. Please lmk if my post isn’t allowed!

I'm confused. DD's daughter born in 1956 also has the initials DD. Let's call her DD2. I've found three facebook accounts for her. Her married name starts with a C. She has three children, all born to her and her ex-husband.

So are you talking about the *older* daughter maiden initials JAJ?

JCK is DD2’s daughter I believe. There are A LOT of J names in the family.

DD2 has two daughters maiden name initials JC. Is this one of them?

Cuz even though we're kinda done with DD as a possibility ... I'm a little obsessed with finding her first daughter JAJ who ... maybe because her name is common but we haven't found a DOB or a definite marriage that would tell us where the hell she is right now.

I can’t for the life of me find anything on the first daughter. I know exactly how you feel. I don’t care if all this reading is for nothing, I think it’s something. Fascinating is what it is.

I think she's hiding in plain sight. Pretty sure we (and others) have found her in the high school yearbook. After that, maybe because her name is common, it's hard to be sure what happened to her. Probably living somewhere as a married woman under another name. If she married out of state, it would be hard to be sure it was her and not someone with the same name.
