(1839 - 1 Apr 1915)

Events

Birth1839Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales
Note6 Jun 1855It is possible that our Julia was the Julia Clanzey who arrived in Hobart, Tasmania from Liverpool on 6 Sep 1855. The voyage began 6 Jun 1855 on the "Donald McKay" which reached Melbourne 21 Aug 1855. The immigrants then transferred to the steamer "City of Hobart" for the final leg. However this Julia, a housemaid, is recorded as being born in Waterford. Ireland, as are many of the other girls on the ship
Note23 Mar 1856This Julia bore a child, William, on 23 Mar 1856 at Crofs St, Hobart (1312/1856). No father was identified and it appears that Julia then sailed for Melbourne (was she bought off by the father?) because young William (recorded as William James Harris CLINSEY) died in Victoria, aged 4, in 1860 (6896/1860)
