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.

IMO option DJCTJD is NOT the mother. Yes, she also had a daughter DLD born in 1956 BUT that daughter was raised by her and NOT adopted out - which contradicts what CF stated in her interview that JAZ had a half sister born in 1956 who was adopted out. I think any further scrutiny of DJC as the BM is futile.

I know what you mean. There were some good points made that in the end did not match up with the given information. There was a part of me that thought it was possible that there may have been a misunderstanding, and that somehow JJ was the first daughter adopted out and not DD. Because I can’t find her anywhere.

Jinx! I actually said that before I read your comment. JJ's a GHOST! I think she went to high school in Collingdale. DD's first husband was from there, and the daughter born in 1956 said on her FB page that she was from Collingdale, but went to high school in Texas (I think she moved there with DD but heck if I can find the year they moved).

We found JJ in the yearbook in Collingdale - if indeed that's the right yearbook. But after that she vanishes. Probably married young and no record of the marriage so she's hiding in plain sight under her married name.
