Helena "Ellen" Bridgit Costelloe of Milltown, Abbeydorney

Kerry

Thank you for reading my post.  I am searching for information on John Costelloe and/or Mary Maloney, both were born approximately 1840, at unknown.  

They gave birth to a daughter Helena "Ellen" Bridgit Costelloe of Milltown, Abbeydorney, Kerry County on 21 July, 1863.

Any information about the person or parents would be greatly appreciated.  I have searched all the other links provided, as well as Ancestry.com.

I know Ellen Costelloe emigrated to the USA and died in 1933, she was my Great Grandmother.

Best regards!

Terry:

I can't tell if you have looked at www.irishgenealogy.ie which has Co. Kerry church records. I looked quickly and found a baptismal record for a Bridget Costelloe (see below). It appears she would be an older sister to your Helena "Ellen".

I think if you do some more searches, you will find other siblings and maybe the marriage record for John and Mary and maybe their baptismal records.

Roger, thank you for your great assistance.  I was also able to locate and confirm birthdates and Baptism dates for "Ellen's" twin sisters Bridget & Johanna and I also located birthdate and baptism date for one brother John.  It's was a huge leap, all in one night.

The quest continues!  Thanks again for your generous time.

Best regards,

Terry
