Her mum grew up her parents' 20 acre orchard farm in Docklands, Melbourne, having moved there when she was two years old, in 1836. Their farm included the site where the Docklands AFL Stadium and the Southern Cross railway station (previously known as Spencer Street station), stand today.
Her mum died a year after she was born and her father remarried. Only one of her siblings survived childhood, Florence Mabel. Her only maternal uncle John Charles Batman drowned in the Yarra River when he was eight years old.
Her birth and death dates are estimated but based on cemetery records that show a service date of 1/1/1858 and BDM records that show she was one day old when she died.
