Welcome to Rootschat  :)

There is this marriage but it is 1877 - Michael Costigan and Ellen Tobin. Father John Costigan is still alive at that time.

A witness to Michael’s marriage was Kate Costigan.
There is a marriage 1894 - Robert Campbell (widower) and Kate Costigan - father John, labourer and her residence is Coon East.

Here they are in 1901 - Kate is 39 yrs

Catholic Parish - Muckalee
Baptism: April 1858 Kate Costigan - parents John Costigan and Kate Reigan, Coolcullen

Baptism: 19th August 1855 Michael Costigan - Jno Costigan and Catherine Regan
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000635383#page/11/mode/1up

I suspect now that you have all this information. I misunderstood your initial message, thinking that the marriage was 1855.
