Costello / Neil / Ryder / Loughnane - Cloughjordan Parish to Ontario, Canada

Here are families that I have identified as having been from the Cloughjordan parish and lived in London, Middlesex Co., Ontario, Canada and nearby areas of Biddulph & Caradoc in Middlesex Co., Ontario, Canada.  Maybe the information will be helpful to someone researching these lines.

1.  John Costello b. 1792 and wife Mary Howe b. 1806 - Had son Patrick Costello baptized Mar 9, 1837 and born in Forty Acres with the sponsor Patrick Gleeson.  Other children born in Ireland without having located a baptismal record:  Bridget b. 1835; Margaret b. 1836; Catherine b. 1838.  Family immigrated to Caradoc in Middlesex Co., Ontario, Canada circa 1840.

2. John O'Neil b. 1823 and wife Catherine Quirk b. 1830 - Had son John Neil baptized Feb 4, 1845 with no birth location given, but in Cloughjordan parish.  Sponsors were Roddy Tierney & Biddy Tierney.  Family lived in Biddulph, Ontario, Canada before moving to Dixon Co., Nebraska in 1870.

3. Patrick Ryder b. circa 1803 and wife Anne Meara - Had 2 children baptized in Cloughjordan parish - 1.

Anne baptized Feb 20, 1839 in Ballynavin with sponsors Rody Mara & Catherine Mara.  Family lived in Biddulph, Ontario

4. James Ryder (believed to possibly be brother to Patrick above) and wife Hanora Hurley had 2 children baptized - 1. Daniel baptized Aug 29, 1833 in Ballynavin with sponsors Michael Carty & Mary Hurley; 2. John baptized May 10, 1840 in Ballynavin with sponsors Edward Kennedy & Margaret Kennedy.  Family lived in Biddulph, Ontario.

5.  John Loughnane b. circa 1800 and wife Mary Dewan b. circa 1799 - Had son Patrick baptized on Sep 5, 1838 in Kilruane with sponsors Thomas Dwan & Mary Cleary.  Son John was born circa Mar 17, 1837 but no baptismal record has been found.  But, John married Annie Tracy on Feb 9, 1861 in Kilruane and had 5 children born in Ireland before immigrating to London, Ontario, Canada.  Those 5 children were: 1. Mary b. 1862; 2. John b. 1863; 3. Patrick b. 1865; 4. Bernard b. 1867; 5. Bridget b. 1870.  Patrick baptized in 1838 marries in London, Ontario in 1870 to Sarah Dewan b. 1843 Canada.  Sarah was the daughter of Patrick Dewan & Catherine Ward (of Co. Tipperary - specific location unknown).

Hope this helps someone.

Sincerely,

Susan O'Meara
