In the 1901 Census for Canada - Julia/ Juliana - is shown as Ilushka -The enumerator had a surname of Bennett - Julia should not have been a problem. A surname that I had been researching - was never spelled correctly -some times - Much imagination put into the spelling - It was only by knowing the location - and the given names of the children that the family was found.
