Hopefully!
Playing around with the search -
Address is 141 Cambridge Road. Schedule 92.
A E Thorpe is a boarder.
Head is Mary Ann Bickle, born 1859.

Suzy what I was trying to put across was that my grandmother was a border with her distant relatives not that she pretended to be closer family.  I added the distant relationship as a possibility for why she was living there before her marriage.

Now that sounds a much better bet than Joan Veronica Brown 

I think you are getting the wrong end of the stick CaroleW.  I know that Joan Veronica Brown did not marry anyone.  And I know she could not have been the daughter to either Percy Wilfred Brown or Betsy Brown nee Slack as she is too old.

But could they have made the name up.  And if so why.

Yes this must be her as she was born in Sneinton, Nottingham.  Thanks for solving my mystery, although how she ended up living at 85 Southwold Mansions when she married.  And I still do not know who Joan Veronica is!!  But she is not on my tree so I can put her on the back burner.
Also we have solved a family mystery of who the mysterious Mrs Brown was!!

Yes I know that is what you meant thank you so much for your help. I did start to look further a field on your suggestion.

Thank you everyone who has contributed.
I must learn to look at all the evidence.  On Alice and Percy Frederick's marriage certificate the witness's are Percy W Brown and Betsy Brown the very same people living in 85 Southwold Mansions.  And Alice did put her name as Alicia in the 1921 census and it is her as she was born in Sneinton Nottingham so it must be her.

Re your comment - Please read the wording of your post again in relation to my replies

Percy was 35 and Joan was 11

But could they have made the name up.  And if so why.

How feasible is it that Alice is in fact Joan Veronica Brown?

.  There is also a daughter Joan Veronica Brown aged 11 born Isleworth Middlesex. 

I have just had a relook at this query,and find that in 1921 Joan Veronica BROWN is in fact 11 MONTHS (Born 1920) not 11 years.

That might shine a different light on things.

Just out of curiosity I checked the 1939 for a Joan V Brown.  There is one living in Northampton, with the Whitlock family, single with no suggestion that she married.

No idea if the V is Veronica or another name.
