If you are reading this, Hello. It is my first self-initiated post on RootsChat.
I have a couple of questions that I would welcome your thoughts on.
Question 1: Where was William Costello (born ca 1840) baptized?
My great grandfather William Costello was born (ca 1840) in or near Clonmel, Tipperary (possibly at Mile Tree). He emigrated to New Zealand arriving ca 1860 (I cannot find when or where he entered New Zealand). He died (1908) at his farm in North Canterbury, New Zealand. He had named his farm “Clonmel”.
On both his marriage and death certificates his father is listed as Michael Costello. He married a widow, Eliza Jane Bunting (nee Dalzell) in New Zealand in 1882. On his marriage certificate his mother is listed as Catherine Costello (nee O’Donald) and on his death certificate she is listed as Catherine Costello (nee McGrath). He had at least two siblings that came to New Zealand: his brother Michael (for whom I cannot find a death certificate or a grave) and his sister Annie (Anastasia) Poschich (nee Costello). I have been looking for birth registrations for him and his siblings, so far without luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Question 2: Is James Costello (born ca 1860) a brother of William Costello?
There is another family of Costello’s who lived at Mile Tree. They can be seen in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses (listed as Costelloe, Lawlesstown). Head of the family was James Costello. In the 1950’s a daughter-in-law of William visited Mile Tree Farm on a trip from New Zealand. She met several bachelor brothers of the family who lived there (sons of James). Another brother of the same Mile Tree Farm family did marry and two of his children are priests with whom I am in contact. Everyone seems to agree our families are related, but I have yet to find a link which confirms this.
The grandfather of the two priests is likely to be the James listed in the 1901 Census1. A James Costello (of Miletree) married a Kate Burke in March 1881 according to the records. They appear to be the grandparents of the two priests. Kate was apparently known as Ellen Burke2.
The father of this James was also a Michael Costello. Is this the same Michael Costello who was the father of William Costello? Were William and James brothers? I cannot find a birth registration for James or William online – finding these would certainly help. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
Note: William was born ca 1840 and James [who married in 1881], if he is the one aged 40 in the 1901 census, would have been born ca 1860, which is a large (but not implausible) gap.

Civil registration in Ireland only began in 1864. You'll have to look at church records.

My Grandmother Kathleen Dwyer COSTELLO (Temuka, 1895 - Christchurch, 1998), m. Thomas Christchurch, 1921, widowed 1951. Lived in Masons's Flat 1897 - 1953. Went on a trip to Ireland in the late fifties, early sixties and found "two old men" still living in the family farm.
Some Costellos have travelled out to see the New Zealand branch, the latest a Priest in about 2006(ish?). I did not meet him.

This copy of the Probate File is / was (I think) different from the LDS copy, in that it has a typewritten transcription of the will pp 1 - 5 which are for the edification of the Justice who was determining the distribution of the Estate cash assets (ie the Bunting children were among the bequests)(and the elder Costello children (ie the ones not of majority age)) but in the 1908 - 13(?) period, the administration of farming and other assets in trust, there wasn't enough money to fully meet the bequests. (Source personal communication Marie G, Maureen C, TDC: 1990 - 2015).
There is also an error / misdescription in the typescript and handwritten will with regard to the name of "Birchdale" - I was told that it was originally named "Patoa" (Source personal communication Marie G, 2005), then later known as Rosemorn, which was (re)named by "the girls" (Source personal communication Marie G, 2005) as a more appropriate name: here it is named "Birchdale" - this is a different freehold and leasehold farm about two miles away. Patoa Settlement (defunct?) is also the name of about 12,000 acres below "Clonmel", The Peaks - William tried to get Eliza Jane on a land grant ballot for some of it in the Crown Land distribution - but the Land Court denied them the chance. This land is very tough (shingle) country.
Now named "Carraig" and includes "The Grange".
"Birchdale" was the farm of John P. and Oonah (nee Costello) O'Carroll.
