Photographs of Joan Cross with family and friends
Date1880s-1990s
DescriptionJoan Cross was born as Annie Cross to parents Joseph and Annie Maud Cross in 1900, the youngest of three (sister Jane b. 1891, brother Joseph b. 1894). Her father, a railway clerk died when Cross was just one year old, and she was informally adopted by her uncle Matthew Cross and his wife Emma, nee Kirkham. She was most likely not told of this until she received a letter from her birth mother at the age of 25 (letter concerning this, see file ref no. CRS/3/125).
