I am looking for children of Juanita McMillan, my aunt, d.o.b.25.02.1928. I believe she has now died. I have been in touch with relatives of her Employer, Lotte Meitner-Graff for whom she worked prior to her marriage. They are trying to collect information about Mrs Meitner- Graff for a biography.They would also like to know if there are any photographs of her. Nita may have had some. She may also have talked of her boss who was an amazing woman. Any one out there?.
Also it would be nice to connect as relatives.

Her Estate went to Probate

If the lead for her son doesn't work out, you could order a copy of the Grant & Will for £10 (see link above). The named heirs and possible Executor's address may help.

There is a McMillan phone book listing in Ely. The address is the same one as listed on the ER.

Search for Juanita's ER listing to 2008 - they may have opted out after then.

If you do follow up - write, don't phone. We don't know how old the other resident is, or his state of health.

Yes that is Lotte Meitner Graff. She had her photographic studio at 23 Old Bond street but lived somewhere else. She had a flat. There is a web page for her now. She photographed a lot of the great classical musicians of the day. She was a lovely lady.
