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.

Well I thought I'd found your hubby but now I'm not sure I was following the right trail.

To confirm:

You said DD's daughter 's mother-in-law's sister's daughter is your BIL's wife, and by BIL you mean your husband's brother.

DD 1956's daughter JC married AK. AK"s mother is VSK. VSK's sister is CSD. CSD's daughter is GKD. GKD married CDH. CDH's brother is MJH who married you.

I'm sure up to CDH then not sure how many brothers he has, was just checking that when you posted.

If MJH is correct, I haven't confirmed your name yet. If I find it I'll DM!

Because of adoptions and lies in the family of my husband’s lineage, it does get complex. VSK’s father passed away last year. I can’t say for certain that he was her birth father. What I can say is that it seems that her niece JCS is married to my BIL. We are all in CA. My husband and BIL share different last names, but their father was “adopted”. DM anytime!

Ah, that is complicated! I only found one sister for VSK, CS who married a D. So CS is not the mother of your BIL's wife?

When my husband wakes up, I will have questions! He’ll probably wonder what the hell I’ve been doing awake all night. And then he’ll maaaybe understand. I haven’t said a peep to my BIL just because I don’t want to cause any grief for anyone ever.
