Comments:

1. Three family members entered the community of the Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate Conception, based in Saint John, New Brunswick. These include Sister Rose Marie Mulholland (1945-) and Sister Gertrude Mulholland (1942-) (who has provided most of the information on this branch of the Cullinans as well as from Plate XVII).
2. Another member of that family was Sister Marie Cullinan, who I believe passed away in the 1980s was also a member of this community. In May of 1995, I stayed at Mount Carmel, located on Burpee Avenue in Saint John where I visited with my mother's sister, Sister Betty Williams. I have another aunt, Sister Marion Williams, who has been serving in a community near Lima, Peru and has recently returned to Saint John (July 1995).
3. Michael Cullinan (1827-1906) married twice, first in 1867 to Eleanor (Ellen) Murphy, then in 1875 to Ann McGee. Presumably, Ellen died at an early age.
4. In a number of references in Census records, newspaper articles, city directories, etc. the surname is spelled Cullinen, which may suggest a connection to the Cullinens in St. Stephen, however, I cannot be sure of this connection until more research is completed on the St. Stephen branch.
5. The following obituary was written in 1906: "Mr. Michael Cullanin, whose death took place after a protracted illness at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, had the distinction of the longest residence of Fairville, still residing in the village. His death took place at the age of 84 years, and he had been living in Fairville since he was a lad of tender years, at which time the place was a log cabin stall. He built two of the first houses ever erected here, one on the present Ready estate, and another at the foot of Fairville (--Saint John Globe, August 15, 1906)."
6. John Cullinan (c1850-1944). His obituary states that he was the son of the late Owen and Hannah Cullinan of Fairville. I have not been able to locate more information on this individual--specifically his date of birth, where he lived, etc.Marshall Cullinan is referred to a nephew in the obituary of John (Jack) Cullinan (c1850-1944). As John Cullinan had only one brother, Michael Cullinan (1827-1906), this would seem to suggest that Marshall Cullinan could have been an typographical error--since only one son, Michael Cullinan (1884-1954) was living when John Cullinan died. All of the other nephews passed away while quite young.
7. Letitia Angela Cullinan (c1835-1909) married on September 4, 1870 in Portland, Maine at St. Domenic's Church to Charles McCourt (1833-1903). He was the son of Michael and Ann (Mosey) McCourt. Charles and Letitia (Cullinan) McCourt moved to Portland, Maine in June of 1870. Charles McCourt was employed as both a farmer and a labourer and had a farm on Saco Road, Main Street, Portland, Maine. After their daughter Elizabeth was married, Letitia moved with Elizabeth and Harry to Saint John, New Brunswick and lived at 226 Princess Street, Saint John, New Brunswick. "Mrs. Letitia McCourt, widow of Charles McCourt died on Wednesday, February 24, 1909, at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. M.J.H. Mulholland, 226 Princess Street, in her 74th year. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Mulholland, two sisters, Mrs. P. Eagan, Saint John, and Miss Kate Cullinan of Fairville, and one brother, Mr. John Cullinan of Fairville (--Saint John Globe, February 25, 1909)".
8. Henrietta Mary Frances Mulholland (1909-1995) was married on August 27, 1949 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Saint John, New Brunswick to Gerard Dever (1919-), the son of Alfred and Alice (née Mahoney) Dever Alfred Dever was a cousin of Edna Mary Dever (1896-1963), my mother's mother.
