Michael Castelli watchmaker

[rubina]

I am descended from a Castelli family who were living in Offaly(King's County) up until the 1870s. Michael was a watchmaker who had a shop in Birr(Parsonstown), his father was an Italian who settled in Ireland in the early 1800s, and married a Margaret Fagan of Birr, she and Pietro were Michaels' parents.
There are many family descendants in Australia, but I have not been able to make contact with any Fagan descendants in Ireland, and wonder if any survive.

Thanks again Jack, this was a big family, most of them came to Australia, the Fagans are still pretty obscure to me
