Hi Robert Interesting - so there may be a connection in Ireland (if we ignore the spelling issues!) My lot were James MCCULLOUGH married Mary Ann JOHNSTON with children Bella MCCULLOUGH; Ann MCCULLOUGH, b. 1832 Inch, Down, Ireland, d. 1925 at Yackandandah; James MCCULLOUGH, b. 1834 Inch County Down, d. 31/01/1922 Yackandandah; William John (John) MCCULLOUGH, b. 1842 Ireland, d. 1928 Yackandandah; Elizabeth (Lizzie) MCCULLOUGH, b. 1844 Kilmor County Down Ireland, d. Nov 1921 Spring Creek, Tallangatta The last four immigrated to Australia 1857-1870. The ann is my husband's great great grandmother - she married Arthur Welshman from Downpatrick County Down - having immigrated with her brother for the wedding in 1857. If you can see any connection to your Joseph would be delighted to hear.

I am not sure how much further away I could have got!!!!
