IorethWise-woman of Gondor
Ioreth is something of an oddity from a genealogical point of view: we have a great deal of implied detail about her family, but no names to connect with the various relationships. She's referred to as an 'old wife' and a 'dame', which suggests1 that she was married (or at least had been in the past). She makes reference to having sisters in her youth, and her cousin (assumed here to be a first cousin) actually makes an appearance in The Lord of the Rings, though she is referred to simply as Ioreth's 'kinswoman'. (These references come from The Return of the King V 8, The Houses of Healing and VI 5, The Steward and the King.)
