Notes:
Julia Maria and Charlotte Elizabeth were the children of Julia Nunn (1798-1879) and John Barmby (1777-1834), of Vines Villa, Yoxford. Upon their mother's death in 1879, all hereditaments were sold for the benefit of their brother John Goodwyn Barmby (1820-1881), a prominent Chartist and socialist. The list of items in their mother's will suggests a family of modest means, with a particular interest in science, including boxes of shells, minerals, fossils, petrefactions and books on geology, mineralogy, conchology, and a painting of Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness. She also left her daughters and son shares for Whitwood and Normanton Collieries in Yorkshire, her writing case and box of oil colors, a snuff box and books on the History of England, Battle of Waterloo, and flowers with a cash sum of £24 each.
