If you search for births on freebmd site

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

using Joan's married surname SAWYER and maiden name MIRAMS it would seem that she had 2 children.
Use their names in the search on this site.

You can look for yourself on FreeBMD ,it's a free site

Joan had children in the 1930, s who are more than likely still alive so posting their info on here would be an invasion of their privacy
