Hello,
I was doing some additional geanealogy research and I came across this website on the Costello Family.
My Great-Grandmother is Bridget " Delia " Costello from Fohenagh/Caltra/Galway area. We believe she was born on May 24, 1876 or possibly 1877?
She was raised on a farm in Ireland. She had a job lined up as a servant in New Jersey and she married a John Aloysius Mahon - Great Grandfather.
She immigrated to the USA from Ireland April 4, 1896 with a friend named Regan on a ship called "Lucania" which departed from the Port of Queenstown - now called Cobh.
John Aloysius Mahon was born in the USA but his parents: Michael Aloysius Mahon and Ann Connolly-Mahon were from Ireland - not exactly sure which area. I was hoping to find additional information on them as well.
Michael Aloysius Mahon - born 1842 Ireland and became a citizen Sept 28, 1876
Ann Connolly-Mahon - was born in 1847. Died in New Jersey, USA Dec 5, 1890. Could possibly be spelled Connelly?
Possible brothers of Michael: Laurence Mahon, born in 1842 in Ireland, died May 26, 1899, wife's name was Ann also, she died Dec 7, 1900.
POssible siblings of Ann Connolly ( Mahon ) - Luke, Mary, Patrick
From my research I believe her siblings were: Michael, Mary, Ned
- possible sibling Michael Costello born Aug 25, 1867
- possible sibling Ned Costello or Edward- born Jan 8, 1871. Baptism 528 Clonbrock, Galway.
- possibly Mary Costello - Birth Dec 12, 1872 Clonbrock
Parents were: - James Costello and Margaret Kelly-Costello.
** The information may or may not be correct but I thought I would post this just in case you might have any more information.
Thanks
Scott Mahon
