JC upper left arm, several blue dots back of left hand, blue ring middle finger of same, six dots back of right hand, blue ring fore and middle fingers of same. Brother Daniel Leary, two years ago. Julia was assigned to Sophia Darcey in Sydney.

According to Julia's death certificate, Julia and John had been in Victoria for 14 years and in NSW for 13 years. This makes their arrival in Victoria around 1858 and according to these dates arrival in NSW would have been around 1845. As there is a birth of Daniel in NSW in 1841 with parents John and Julia Sullivan, the dates on the death certificate would seem to be somewhat underestimated.
