I noticed some discrepancy from source to source on the marriave and "move to england" dates. Without spending *too* much time on this, I updated the page with what looked like the most credible of the sources I was looking at. Alchemist0405

I've seen some original prints by Julia Margaret Cameron. They are far from perfect : dust and hair on the plate, I think this is objective not POV. Ericd 00:13, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You'd still have to source it, e.g. "according to X, Cameron's prints were QUOTE far from perfect, with dust and hair on the plate UNQUOTE". Otherwise we only have your word for it, and we can't cite User:Ericd as a source, firstly because you could be anyone, and secondly because it would be original research. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I added her birthplace and parentage info. Also, the section on her "illustrations" needs to be clarified, since it seems, at times, that the article is talking about actual drawings, and not narrative photographs. -- AKeen 18:07, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced info

This paragraph keeps appearing from time to time. If someone could actually find the source for this it can be included:

"Unfortunately Julia produced her own prints and was unkempt in apperance. Producing her own prints stained her fingers making them look dirty. With a least one vistor had the fear of god put in them when Julia seeing a new subject over- enthusiastically approached them. Julia must have appeared as a beggar from her looks than the "Lady of the House"."
