hi cando
i have been sent some info from julias family who had recevied some reports from the department of aboriginal affairs

I have some Gov docs from the Dept for Community Services and the death cert / report for Julia. Not sure how much use they will be to you. I'll send them to you in a PM.

My grandmother, Josephine is the daughter of Julia Darby. Julia and Joseph had 5 children - Hazel, Ethel, Joan, Keith and Josephine. They grew up in East Perth.
Julia died of Lead Poisoning..

I too am searching for info on Julia and where they originated from, as the story is, that once Julia and Minnie's mum passed away the girls were taken by an uncle (but now I'm thinking it was their step father) to Balfour Downs.

Thanks for all the info everyone shared with AustralianJack as this has helped me too

Hi Jaime,
I've been searching for some info on Julia Holliway as well. Julis was my Great Grandmother, Joan was my Grandmother. It is very difficult to find any sort of information on the family before Julia and Minnie. This thread has given me a lot more information to follow up and add to my collection.
Have you managed to find anything else over the last few months?
I have more information at home filed away that I will dig up and add here in the next few weeks.
