According to her death certificate she immigrated to the U.S. probably arriving at the age of 8 in 1853 - but this is not certain - it actually said she had lived that long in Baltimore.

Julia married an immigrant from Hanover named Charles Louis Ellinghaus on January 5, 1860 by Rev. A. Uebelacker according to the Marriage Registry of the City of Boston in Massachusetts. (She was listed as the daughter of Jacob and Julia Heyser.) The couple moved to Baltimore so Charles could work as a mariner out of the harbor there.

According to sacramental records at St. Michael Catholic Church in Baltimore, Julia converted to Roman Catholicism when she was baptized by Father P. Joseph Muller on May 27, 1874. Her sponsor was Maria Anna Gebhardt of Baltimore and her husband Charles Ellinghaus is listed as her father. The records says the she converted from Lutheranism at the age of 29. This document verifies her birth in the village of Nieder-Weisel.

In 1871, Charles left his wife Julia with six young children and with one on the way that was born while he was fetching his youngest sister in Germany to escort her to Baltimore.

A beautiful needlepoint image of the Christ falling while carrying the cross (stitched with her name and dated 1877) was found in in the late 1970s in the basement of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in East Baltimore where she and her family attended Mass. It was given to her great grandson Larry Ellinghaus of Glen Arm, Maryland.
