Joan Jardine was older sister to Bill Jardine,
making her Lillie's aunt that she never knew.
According to the following sources, the following dates apply:
BIRTH: 26 Sept 1879, Kilbride, Bute, Scotland
DEATH: 29 May 1899, Wilton, Roxburghshire, Scotland
She was 19 years old when she died of tuberculosis.
Photo card of Joan:
From the personal collections of Lane Lythgoe, scanned April 2013.
Photo inherited from Lillie.
(Shown is both sides of the photo card.)
This photo is the only clue we have thus far to Jean's death date.
It is written on the back of this photo that she died at age 22, putting her death around 1901.
It also provides a few details about her life, such as her proclivity for playing concerts of the piano and violin.

Her birth date likely means that her parents married when the mother was 5 months pregnant with Joan.
Joan was the second daughter on the family record, with sister Leila coming earlier in 1877.

The only remaining clues I know about her is that she was last seen living with her Aunt Betsy (Jardine) Heatlie in Wilton, Roxburgshire, Scotland on the 1891 Scotland census (age 11). Her uncle James is listed as informant for her death.
