According to documents obtained from the South Mayo family Research Center the marriage of Richard Costello & Catherine Fahy, occurred in 1828 in the vicinity of Ballindine/Claremorris in Co Mayo Ireland. In the following years til 1856 there are baptismal/marriage records for 7 known children. There may have been other children as the last child was, Edward, bap: 1856. Some of the names are familiar, as I recall from conversations with my father & these folks may have come to NYC, USA.
Ed-The parish records come from Claremorris main church, which is St. Colemans. In the years of the records, apparently there were different sub churches within that same parish. Since St. Colemans is the main church in Claremorris, assume that is where they are. I wrote to Fr. Gleeson there @ one time, and he sent me a typed copy of the actual handwritten records,(that included only the page of My ggrandfathers baptism date) that I got through the LDS. His address was just--Fr. Gleeson-P.P., Claremorris, CO. Mayo, Ireland. There was not a specific church in the address, and assume it is ST. Colemans. Have I confused you further?? Janet
