Thomas Costello of Tinnakilla, County Limerick
I am trying to determine whether the Thomas Costello, Baptized on 22 April 1833 at Shanagolden Parish, is my Great Grandfather. His Baptism shows his parents as Thomas and Margaret (Madagan) Costelloe of Tinnakilla, County Limerick. I am trying to determine whether his son Thomas migrated to Canada about early 1850s. These parents birthed 10 children, all Baptized at Shanagolden. Family stories have three of the sons (including Thomas) migrating together and Thomas and two other of the older brothers do not show in later records, the property owned by the father eventually passes to the youngest son Denis.
The father was a co-resident with an elder Denis (maybe related) on Lot #7 of Tinnakila prior to 1858, at which time Thomas becomes immediate lessor. By 1863 Margaret Costelloe is the lessor of Lot #7. Meanwhile Lot #6 is divided with 2 pieces being occupied by a Michael Costelloe and a Mary Costelloe (Michael being immediate lessor). These occupants could be relatives diue to proximity. By 1878 Denis assumes residency on Lot #7 and is apparently the youngest son in this family.Also, we now have a Patrick Costelloe occupying Lots #1 & #2 here in Tinnakilla. By 1909 Denis purchases Lot #7 and then later sells it to a John D. Costelloe in 1934 John Costelloe of Tinnakilla dies on 24 Jan 1961 survived by sisters & nieces and nephews. Patrick Costelloe now owns all of Lot #6. In 1959 Lot #7 was owned by a Denis O'Farrell (possibly a spouse of one of John D.'s sisters) and this is the last recorded change in the Valuation Books. At this time, Patrick Costelloe is selling many pieces of Lot #6.
I am trying to reach any direct descendant of these Thomas Costelloes, or a Historian/Genealogist/anyone or Society to help with any information on this Costelloe family and where they might be now. I am posting this here in the hope that someone might know of such help; and evrything/anything would be appreciated. THANKS, david costello
