Heather McCartney

Parents: Linda McCartney and Joseph Melville See (adopted by Paul McCartney)

Born: December 31, 1962

Heather McCartney is Linda McCartney’s daughter, and Joseph Melville See is her father. Her parents split when she was a youngster, and her mother married Paul McCartney when she was six years old in 1969, therefore Paul legally adopted her. Because her maternal father had such a strong influence on her, she believes Paul to be her father. Heather has always been interested in painting. She studied ceramics and architecture at an art college. She later moved to Arizona to live with her biological father, but she eventually returned to England to work as a potter.

Kyoko Chan Cox

Parents: Yoko Ono and Anthony Cox (adopted by John Lennon)

Born: August 8, 1963

When John and Yoko married in 1969, he took on the role of stepfather to Yoko’s daughter from her previous marriage to American director and art promoter Anthony Cox. During the early years of their marriage, Yoko Ono and her ex-husband fought for custody of their daughter. Because of his trauma, John created the song “Don’t Worry Kyoko (Mummy’s Just Looking for Her Hand in the Snow).” The song was written by the Plastic Ono Band, which featured John, Ringo, and Eric Clapton. When Kyoko was eight years old, Cox kidnapped her and reared her as Ruth Holman. He was, nevertheless, a member of the religious cult The Living Word Fellowship. Kyoko and her father left the cult in the 1970s, but she didn’t see her mother again until the 1990s. Kyoko’s background is unknown, but she is reported to be a teacher who is married with two children.
