Collected Poems of Joyce Neill |
Joyce Neill was born on the 19th November 1915 in Harrow, to John Sidney and Elsie Davies, both schoolteachers from Wales. After nine years at North London Collegiate, Joyce won a scholarship to Newnham College, Cambridge, where she studied medicine. She then moved to the Royal Free to complete her clinical studies. In 1941 she married Desmond Neill and they lived first in York, then in Leeds, where he was working in Adult Education. In 1946 the family moved to Belfast where Desmond took up a new post as director of the Social Studies Department at Queen's University. After raising her family, Joyce worked in a number of medical posts and was active in setting up a family planning service throughout the province. On retirement Joyce and Desmond remained in Belfast, where both were involved in the Quaker community and its work for many years. After Desmond's death in 2004, Joyce stayed in Belfast and lives in a retirement home.
