I recently found out some new information regarding Julia. In his book The Murder of Julia Wallace James Murphy claims that "nothing is known for certain of her [Julia's] life between 1875 and 1910" (Murphy, pp.39).
I've found out that in 1881 Julia was living in Wandsworth, Surrey. She was an assistant governess (teacher). She was living with a family named Smith. I know it is a common surname but my hunch is that it was relatives, as Julia's mother's maiden name was Smith. I am trying to find out more with regard to Julia & WHW's earlier lives. Keep you posted when I do. I hope to include extensive information on them for the book, but it could be some time yet
