I think this is Julia in 1891, with her age wrongly transcribed. It looks more like 23 on the image

I am confusing myself Margaret Burke was my g/ grandmother and it is her certs I have. The details you have for the1901 census are correct .Know this as my grandmother was still in contact with them in 1940s. She died in 1949 when I was 4. I did find what could be 2 sisters for Margaret born I India in 1866 and 1868 but as there was several families called Burke living in India at that time not sure especially now I have seen what could be a second marriage for Mary, would help if I could find Mary Burke's maiden name but not on either the birth and marriage certs I have. Thanks Michaelena

This is a web site for the Connaught Ranges. It might be worth contacting them to see if they have any records from the era from the mid-1850s through to about 1880.
