Rosalind Franklin gave speeches and wrote articles based on photo 51 , so i suppose that although she never shared it around people were always going to theorize further about it and dna. You are correct that James Watson,Maurice Wilkins and Francis Crick actually recieved the nobel prize for the discovery of the double helix after she died. Maybe the below links will be of help.
