Born at Wellington in New Zealand in or about 1842, Juliette Daniell appears on the 1861 census lodging with her mother Julia Daniell at Kenwyn in Cornwall.

On 24 January 1867 at Bath she married Hugh Pollexfen Deane of the 31st Regiment. According to the announcement of their marriage in the Naval & Military Gazette and Weekly Chronicle of the United Service (2 February 1867), the bride was the ‘only daughter of the late Edward Daniell, Esq., Captain 75th Reg., and granddaughter of R. A. Daniell, Esq., of Trelissick, Cornwall.’

In 1891 her husband and three daughters were living at 27 St James's Square, Bath. Mrs Deane was elsewhere the night the census was taken. The two older girls were born in Malta. The youngest girl, Ella, aged 17, was born in Bath.

He fought under Gordon in the Chinese War of 1860, and took part in the capture of the Taku Forts and the march of the Allied Armies on Pekin, receiving the China Medal, 1860. He was twice mentioned in despatches. On retiring from the Army he joined the 3rd (Militia) Battalion Devonshire Regiment, in which he served some years. He married Juliette, only daughter of the late Edward Daniell, of Trelissick, captain 75th (Old Stirlingshire) Regiment.’
