Julia Doyle 1836/7-1869

[kristyo]

Hi everyone... hoping someone out there can help me.

I'm trying to research JULIA DOYLE. Born 1836-37 in Ireland. She came to Fremantle, Western Australia in 1858 on the Emma Eugenia. She is listed on the passenger list as a servant and i think the county that has been put down is Middlesex. The copy on the ancestry.com.au site of the passenger list is not great and I cant see if she had any other family on the ship. She married in 1861 to Henry Albert in Perth, WA and listed her father as James Doyle, occupation Printer, on the marriage certificate. She had 5 children and died in August 1869.

Hoping someone else has some info on her!

Thanks

Kristy

Hi Kristy,

I have done some checking around on some trees for Julia and most have that she arrived in 1852.
I found this passenger list for a Julia Doyle with her family. Born in Ireland. See what you think.
Arrive on the Argyle19 Jul 1852

I'll do some more checking and see if the family on the passenger list can be connected to your Julia.

HI Giblet,

Thanks for that! The Julia Doyle that arrived in 1852 is a different Julia. We originally thought this was her but a distant cousin who is also researching has found that they are not the same Julia! A lot of the trees on ancestry.com.au have her down as the same Julia which is where I think I went wrong! I have tried to contact the other lady researching but haven't heard back from her yet to see what else she has found out which is why I thought I would have a go on here!

Thanks so much

Kristy

Hi,
Im confused as to why she was born in Ireland and the passenger list has county as Middlesex

Do you have a copy of her marriage cert? If so can you post what information is on it please.
Such as place of birth and witnesses etc. etc.

I thought it was Middlesex but I could be wrong I have attached a snipping of the writing. Its directly under Dublin

Thanks Kristy.

I cant see it been Middlesex. I think we need someone to decipher it for us.

kristyo,
I wonder if the deciphering might be helped if you could attach another snip or two which will give an idea of the way the writer formed his letters in the words we can actually decipher.

Just a thought anyway.

Then the Irish board chatters might be able to help, being more familiar with the regions, if no-one here can.

Here is another 'Middlesex' in the same column.  Bearing in mind that the column heading is 'From what County selected', not 'native place'.

Sure looks like Middlesex to me
