Hi Alana-Maree
Your Ellen Theresa Culhane was sister to our Annie Mary Culhane(how married William O'Brien) and sister Bridget Culhane who also married an O'Brien Francis Joseph.(brothers)
Here is some info I have found to help you on your way.
Mary Margaret Smith born Cavan, Ireland abt. 1847 Mar. John Joseph Robert Culhane 22 July, 1866 as you said.
I have her death as 25 March, 1909 Pine Mt?
They had 10 children together
I also have your Ellen Theresa born 29 Dec. 1876 died 1917 is this correct?
I have more info if you would like it,also any information your can give me on your family line that I can add to Ellen Theresa would be great.
Regards Maxine(I lived in Ipswich for many years) we still have family and friends there.

Hi!!!!!

I just found this forum.  I think I'm from Lucy's lineage, as (I think) Lucy had Julia (great grandmother), who had Mary (nana), who had my mum, who had me   I'd love to find out some more.

My nana always spoke about Moggill and loved it out there.

As far as I know, Catherine was burnt in a fire in Moggill, and then they named a church in her honour called St Catherines Church, which was then moved to Toowoomba.

Hi Moonshine,

Would you give us some more information?  I can't find a Lucy O'Brien in my tree. When was she born?

All the best,
Gail
