      REMEMBERING BACK:
      Joy's own words, taken from a larger piece of her writing :
















      TEENAGE YEARS :





      Older sister Fay and Joy



      Married in Congregational Church - Brown Street, Newcastle by the Rev D Davies on 27 April, 1946
      Divorced on 16th December, 1965 at Newcastle Supreme Court





      Joy and Vic early in their marriage


      Joy and Vic started their married life living in a coal shed in the backyard of her aunty
      Mary's(Nennie) house in Gipps Street, Carrington.
      They later moved into a proper house in Young Street, Carrington.
      Next move was to 111 Jenner Parade, Hamilton South.

      After marrying Joy was blessed with 7 children :
      Victor, Barry, Glynis, Darrel, Graham, Neil and John


      Following photo taken in 1961 before Joy and her young gang joined Vic Kearns in Perth, WA for a
      "new" start after rocky times in their marriage.


      Victor, Darrel, Elsie, Glynis, Graham, Barry, Henry, Neil, Joy and John


      They lived at 66 Mars Street, Carlise.
      The problems in the marriage continued and Joy eventually after 2 years fled with her kids back
      to Newcastle, NSW.
      Joy and the kids were split up for a short while with some living with her sister Fay's family at
      Windale.
      Vic, followed Joy back to Newcastle and after a time Joy agreed to a reconciliation with Vic.
      They lived at 41 Dumaresq Street, Hamilton South.
      However, Vics problems with alcohol and gambling only got worse and acts of violence on his
      part put an end to the marriage for good.


      Joy was left to do almost all the parenting of her 7 children with her husband Vic having serious
      alcohol and gambling addictions, and her marriage ended in divorce in 1965.
      On a positive note, after the divorce Vic started attending AA and managed successfully to beat
      his alcohol addiction.
      This photo was taken at 17 Gordon Street, Mayfield where Joy lived with her children after the
      divorce.
      Her parents, Henry and Elsie, living around the street at 9 Windeyer Street Mayfield, provided
      wonderful backup support.
