Have linked Katherine Butler to Alma Boll as they both are musicians, both came over on the same boat at the same time, have the same address, and same reference - it seems like that Katherine is Alma's daughter who is married with a different surname.
Katherine is not sure (like Alma Boll who I have linked her to) of their year of arrival - it could be 1876 or 1877 - I have put in 1876 and 01/01 for the day and month. It does say 'approximately' for how long resident, so the age on arrival reflects this uncertainty. The age on arrival is clearly from when they arrived in New Zealand, not Australia.
