Hi there,
I am also trying to find Julia Doyle b1839 in Middlesex to James Doyle and Mary Ann Burns - they were both born in Ireland and moved to London. He is a stationer on the 1841 census. Not sure if that is a printer?
She was in a workhouse in Norwood in 1851 census, then she was moved to the St Martin's workhouse (Castle Street) in 1857. Ancestry.co.uk have some of the workhouse records. She was on the Emma Eugenia in 1858. I got this information from a Vivienne Garforth who posted the information online, and have found the same girls all went on the ship together.
I have lost Julia after she was on the ship. I have been curious about the marriage as it seems to be the right time frame after her arrival.
I am descended from her brother - Daniel Doyle. There was another sister Mary, but I cannot find records of a Mary Doyle in London, too many! Her father was James Doyle and he was listed as deceased on Daniel's marriage certificate in 1853. Julia was listed as destitute on the workhouse records, so I am wondering if her parents both died. I am surprised that Daniel never took her in though. I am curious about the names of her children!
Are we talking about the same Julia?
Many thanks
Nicola
