Australia / Re: Julia CURTIS.1857.
« on: Friday 09 February 18 00:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Rob and Judith,
I don't know when my GG Great grandmother arrived in Australia as there is no one left to pass on the information. My Julia Curtis mother of Julia Laura did certainly reside in Prahran with her children at one stage as Ernest Edward died there as an infant from diphtheria. We cannot find any reference to a father of her children other than his name Thomas Curtis, which is strange as her maiden name is also Curtis. 1857 Julia Curtis may be the same person but our family cannot shed any diffinitive evidence for this unfortunately.
Good luck with your hunting, regard VMB

Hi Robin, you have been tracking Julia Curtis who arrived in Geelong 1857 and have found my ancestor Julia Curtis, mother of Julia Laura Moore, nee Curtis. Having looked at what you have found I am not sure that the Julia Curtis who arrived in 1857 is my GG Grandmother. Just a bit of information update I can give you which may be of some help but won't resolve the identity. My Grandmother Verna Muriel Moore, daughter of Thomas Lechenby Moore and Julia Laura Moore, nee Curtis died at age 35 from a secondary haemorrhage following an appendicectomy. Her 2 little boys, one being my father aged 5 and his little brother Malcolm age 2 then were sent to Brighton to live with their maternal grandparents and attend school. This was at "Lemerna" 2 Landcox Street Brighton. (point of interest Lemerna is a mix of Leslie, Mervyn and Verna's names). Also living at Lemerna at this time, were Julia Laura's maiden sister Gertrude (Constance Gertrude) and brother Herbert Henry. Dad says Auntie Gert mainly raised him and Mac. I have asked Dad if he has any knowledge of Julia Laura's parents or that of Thomas Moore's. He said he does not recall any thing being said or passed on about them, so the trail from our end stops here. We have also tried to find more information in official records and have had no further success than you. Julia Curtis who died at Hampton 1917 is buried at St Kilda cemetery with Ernest Edward, Albert Ernest, Herbert Henry and Constance Gertrude. Julia Laura is buried in Brighton cemetery with Thomas Moore and Verna Muriel. If we discover anything else we will post it. Cheers VMB
