Hi Ciotach

Welcome to IrelandXO.

Not sure what information you are seeking. Peter Costello was born 20 Jun 1880 at Ballygaddy, Tuam to John Costello, originally from Killelane, Tuam and Mary Burke who was listed as a servant in High Street at the time of their marriage.

Regards

Gerard, Parish Liaison Lackagh

Hi Gerald, I'm not seeking information, just giving it out. This Peter is not one of my Costellos from Tuam, but someone else may be seeking him. 

Regards, 

Ciotach.
