  • Daughter of Edmund and Sarah Ellis. She emigrated from England with her family by way of the ship Manhattan in 1867. She then continued her westward journey to Utah with her parents and siblings in 1868 as part of the Seeley Company. Her older brother, Edward, traveled in a different company. By 1870, the Ellis family was living together in Weber county, Utah.

    Julia's obituary erroneously states that her family traveled in 1869. Her married surname was recorded as "Wade" in her obituary.
