Patrick Costello (m. Ellen Ryan), Cordangan, Co. Tipperary
I saw a message which I cannot now locate from "Eustace" asking about the burial place of his Grandfather Patrick Costello (son of James Costello and Judith Murnane--although I was always told that James' wife was called Johanna Murnane) and Patrick's wife Ellen Ryan.
Eustace--you are my cousin! My mother (your first cousin) was the only daughter of Denis Costello (b. 5 March 1900--third child and second son of Patrick Costello and Ellen Ryan) and Bridget Costello of Cahir, near Thurles.
Denis and Bridget met as servants, he a chauffeur and she a cook, in the Barrymore Manor House before myGrandfather began driving a lorry for the lactogen factory." My Mother (Ellen, called Nellie, born 1922) and her brother (Pat) were both born in Tipperary. Denis (my Grandfather) and his family left Ireland in approximately 1927, emigrating to Australia.
My father was a GI from Alabama during the Second World War. He met my Mother in 1945 at a Red Cross dance and they married a month after VJ day. My Mother emigrated a second time to the United States after having their first child (my eldest brother) in Australia. My parents had nine children, all still living, of whom I am #5. Our surname is Balthrop. My Uncle Pat is still living near Sydney in Australia. He is 95, I think.
I don't know the burial place you asked for. But I know some things about the family history, learned directly from my Grandfather, who lived with me near the end of his ever-hearty and healthy life. "Denny" died on January 24, 1981.
I know the families of some of Denny's 10 siblings:
Johanna (the eldest) (married Jim Brady, settled in Kirkintilloch, nr. Glasgow, Scotland--had a large family most of whom I have met)
Jim (the second) (his wife died before I met him but I have met his children)
Denny (third) -- my Grandfather
Rose (married in Tipperary although the name escapes me just now)--two daughters Mary and Nellie still in Tipperary
Annie (married Frank Monks, settled in Howth, had five or more children, several of whom I used to know very well)
Mary (married Andy Hudson, settled in Dun Laoghaire, hada largefamily whom I used to know very well)
Nellie (married Mick Malloy, settled in Dun Laoghaire, seven children, whom I know). When I went to Trinity in Dublin, in 1974-75, I lived with Aunt Nellie and Uncle Mick.
Paddy (married Mary, settled on the farm at Cordangan, died as you described in your post. One daughter, Elieen, married name Carey, still living at Cordangan, three daughters.
Philly died before I came to know the family.
I know there was a son named Michael. I don't remember the name of the other brother. Whose son areyou?
