Birthplace appears to be "Kullunberg", but no such place seems to exist, nearest is "Kalundborg".
The Jumna, named after a tributary of the Ganges in northern India, was a 1,048 ton iron sailing ship built for the Nourse Line, by William Pile of Sunderland in 1867. She was 208.6 feet (63.6 m) long, 34.1 feet (10.4 m) wide and 20.1 feet (6.1 m) deep. The ship was used in the transport of Indian indentured labourers to the colonies, which was a speciality of the Nourse Line, as well as transporting immigrants to Australia. Sold to Norway in 1898.
Application submitted with solicitor, Abija Murray, 21 Feb 1905, p.6. On p.7-9, correspondence about her husband being naturalised in Australia in 1903, and whether she needs it (solicitor thinks this means that, under the 1903 Act, because no certificate was issued to her specifically, she is not naturalised).
