    Bridget Costello, nee Minogue, (1887-1946), married John Patrick J. Costello (1870-1913) in 1910 after a prolonged courtship largely conducted by letter. Britta, as she was known, lived on her parent's property, ClonKeen, near Hillston, N.S.W., while Jack's family lived near Tocabil, N.S.W. The couple's daughter, Mary, was born in 1912. Britta continued to run their property, Marlowe, near Mossgiel, N.S.W., after Jack's death from measles in January 1913.
