Hi Ted, my maternal grandmother was Kathleen Monica Costello - daughter of Joannah and James (?). It is James I'm interested in... he seems hard to trace prior to Ensay...

I should have mentioned Michael CULHANE and Mary, nee KIRK were married in 1869 in Victoria.
Advocate (Melbourne, Vic.) Thu 24 Jun 1926
MRS. MARY CULHANE, nee KIRK

The death occurred on May 24 at her son's residence, Stratford,
of Mrs. Mary Culhane, relict of the late Michael Culhane, of Talbotville. Mrs. Culhane, who was an exemplary mother and a devout Catholic, was 74
years of age, and her demise caused much regret among a very wide circle
of relatives and friends.
She was a native of Kilkenny, Ireland, and arrived
in Australia in August, 1869, and resided with her sister (the late Mrs.
MacGuire) at Talbotville, where she married Mr. Culhane. There she remained
until five months before her death, when she went to the residence
of her son, John, at Stratford, to receive medical aid. The deceased lady
had been a subscriber to "The Advocate" for 57 years.
A Requiem Mass was celebrated in St. Patrick's Church on the day following her death by the Rev. Fr. O'Donnell.
Mrs. Culhane leaves a family of seven sons, two of whom served at the war, and three daughters to mourn their loss, all of whom are living.
They are:—John (Stratford), Thomas (Myrtleford),
Johanna (Mrs. Costello, Ensay), Minnie (Mrs. Slaven, Stratford),
Michael (Iona), James (Ensay), Edward (Ovens Vale), Patrick, Bridget, and
Maurice (Talbotville).
The coffinbearers were Messrs. John, James,
Patrick, and Edward Culhane, sons of deceased.
There was a large gathering at the funeral and burial, which
took place at the Nuntin Cemetery, Stratford. The prayers at the graveside
were read by Rev. Fr. O'Donnell.
R.I.P.

Stratford (Nuntin) Cemetery
