Julia Ann Thurley Hemmings

The story of the Hemmings/Ient connection in Oxford now moves to Julia - James’s second child and my Grandmother. Julia was born on the 18th June 1865 in Paddington, London and by the age of 16 years she was already in service - the 1881 census shows that she was working as a servant to William and Bessie Brooks of 27 New Inn Hall Street, Oxford. Ten years later (1891) she had moved away from Oxford and was working as a cook for James Young and family at 27 Jevington Gardens, Eastbourne, Sussex.
