What relation was Martha to the Bradys? I keep thinking she was a friend to Carol. (Remember when she kept tying up the phone line in "Sorry, Right Number"?) In another thread someone called her Aunt Martha.

Was she an aunt to the kids? There was an Aunt Martha on "Leave It To Beaver."

She was referred to as Carol's aunt in the "Lost Locket, Found Locket" episode. She sent the Bradys a Totem Pole. But she was one of Carol's early suspects when they were trying to figure out who sent the locket to Jan.

You're correct that "Martha" was June's aunt on Leave it to Beaver.

We got to see June's Aunt Martha... we never got to see Carol's aunt.

Suppose she's the same person. Then June Cleaver and Carol Brady may be cousins, or 2nd cousins, or maybe one of those "removeable" cousins. After all, Aunt Martha on LITB lives in 'Riverside;' and Riverside, CA, could be where Carol's Martha lives.

Carol and June might even be sisters!

Maybe Carol was a "surprise"

Did Marcia, Jan or Cindy ever mention an Aunt June?

If they were sisters, then maybe Carol was known as "Peggy" around the time (1957) LITB started, and the ep where June has to go help out Peggy after the birth of a baby would have to refer to Marcia's birth. We're developing a story here.

We got to see June's Aunt Martha... we never got to see Carol's aunt.

She was one of those mentioned but never seen characters, like the Dittmeyers (except for Mr. Dittmeyer).
