RICHARD COSTELLO & CATHERINE FAHEY | According to documents obtained from the South Mayo family Research Center the marriage of Richard Costello & Catherine Fahey, my G/gp's, 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. (See comments below) Some of the names are familiar, as I recall from conversations with my father & these folks may have come to NYC, USA. Note the attached documents.| |PIX: Ireland Records|

Her legal name was Linda H. Scharfe. Both she and my father died in New Jersey in 1995 and 1996 respectively. I married Donald Baier at St. Joseph's RC Church in West Orange, NJ, in 1959, and had three sons, Donald Jr., born in 1960, Christopher J., born in 1963, and Brad R., born in 1973.

(COMMENTS FROM ABOVE): Brother Edward has been identified, as follows: Baptismal Record: "21 Sept 1856-Edward of Richard Costelloe and Catherine Fahy sp-James and Catherine Mullaney --Kilbeg Malone-- Fr Peter Reynolds" The source is the Claremorris parish records-Film # 1279207. The place where Edward was born is Kilbeg Malone, a townland, in the Poor Law Union of Claremorris, Civil Parish of Kilcolman; Barony-Clanmorris. Apparently Kilbeg is about a mile from the main town of Claremorris-north.
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.
