Julia's husband John Sullivan had been transported on the Backwell in 1835 and her brother Daniel (Leary or O'Leary) had been transported in 1834 on the Blenheim. It is interesting that it mentions Julia's brother John had been transported 2 years earlier but the records make no mention of her husband also being transported.
It seems that John and Julia Sullivan and Daniel and Mary Leary were in the same locale for some time as they both had children christened at Yass at around the same time.
John and Julia had 2 children before they were transported to Australia, but both these children died in the Convict's child factory at Parramatta in 1838, Catherine aged 5 and Michael aged 3. They had another 3 known children in Australia.
