Mathilde Coriolis was born in Paris about 1837. She met Antoine Giraudon, son of Etienne and Marie Giraudon; he had moved from the Loire Valley to Paris for work. He was a carpenter and home decorator. The couple married in Paris in 1862 and emigrated to Victoria, Australia in 1865. Their only daughter, "Nellie" (Eleanore Marie Gabrielle) was born in Fitzroy, at that time a town just out of Melbourne, in July of that year. Three years later the family moved on to the South Island of New Zealand, landing at the gold-fields harbour of Hokitika on the West Coast before relocating further north to Westport. Not long after their arrival Antoine died of lead poisoning, presumably from the paints he was using. Mathilde stayed on in Westport, running a small sweet shop, until her death in 1877 at the early age of 40. Nellie became the ward of another French couple who ran a hotel in the small gold-mining settlement of Zalatown in the Buller Valley, east of Westport. Mathilde's family name was Coriolis, but the registrar in Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia spelt it phonetically when recording Nellie's birth.
