Hi Dianne My family as you know are Culhanes who are also related to the Maguires, (as in Maquire's track) Costello's (Kevin Costello the poet etc..) and we lived next door to the Higgin's, but I am not sure what you want to know, or what you are researching. Also for Culhane's and Higgins do you mean "house" or "hut" both these families houses were situated near the junction of the Crooked and Wongungarra rivers at Talbotville. There was a family called Flannigan that used to live in the house before Mick Higgins. We originally had three properties in the area, one of them Paddy Culhane sold to Nellie Gibbs (Guy) back in the early forties.
