Hi Frank,
Wow that is fantastic and fills in so many gaps.
It is indeed the same family.
My Grandmother (who died in 1957 - before I was born) was Jane (or Jennie). She married Thomas Dunn from Tanfield in Durham at Waiouru, New Zealand on 1 July 1908.
They had three children - including my father who was born in 1921 in Te Pu in Rotorua.
I have access to records on the other Costello siblings but will need to pull them out. On Monday this week my father's 2nd cousin (who was Bridget Costello's daughter) had her 80th birthday so I was able to share this with her.
My wife and I visited Ireland in 1994 and went to County Kerry. We met Eugene and the rest of the family. He was able to remember stories of the three brothers going to NZ. His recollection was that they went to Australia first gold prospecting.
I have some photographs of Jane Costello which I can send through.
My email address *** If you would send through an email I can scan some photos for you plus attach a copy of the records I have.
Thanks enormously.
Pete
