Susan:
I also could not locate the baptismal record on Roots Ireland. There was an 1854 birth of a Mary Costello father James in Valleymount RC records but Mary and Cullen did not work for the mother. Likely this Mary was from one of the other James Costello families in the parish.
I don't know if you looked at the 1901 census but there were 8 Cullen families and 2 Costello families in Ballyknockan www.census.nationalarchives.ie
Here is a link to the church. Maybe you can e-mail them about the window.
