They had at least 3 daughters. There may have been sons as well. The 2nd is Mary b. c1878, the 3rd is Nellie Frances b. c1883. I know they are 2nd and 3rd from their marriage notices in Australian newspapers, which describe them in these terms. They married in Western Australia in 1899 & 1902 respectively. The following is about Nellie's marriage: A pretty wedding was celebrated in the Roman Catholic Church, Collie, on October 14, between Mr. Michael Curran, second son of Patrick and Ellen Curran, of Newcastle, N.S.W., and Miss Nellie Frances Madeline McMahon, third daughter of Michael and Mary McMahon, of Enous, County Clare, Ireland. (I am unable to find Michael's birth in NSW either - there is a Michael T CURREN born to Patrick & Ellen in NSW in 1877, but he died the same year! This lot are dirving me mad!) Nellie was my hubby's grt grandmother; Michael CURRAN was her 1st husband. I have those details, just seeking help with the above please. Thank you!!!
