    His name is Luke Kilhams married to Emma Jane Goble and had 5 children.
    Alice b..Mar .1883 Portsea Island Gertrude b.1885 Portsea Is. Violet Victoria b. 18 Sept.1887 County Cork Sidney Luke b. 21 April 1889 Kinsale. Ireland Lilian M. b.1892 County Cork. I wondered if you knew where they actually lived and whether to house was still standing? Also if you have any history on their lives?
