useing www.askaboutireland/griffiths valuation
Magheramesk townland in the civil parish of Magheramesk
William Costly map ref 4a  ten shillings pa  valued homestead there was a building but not marked 4a on map it seems to be 1 Magheramesk Ln on a modern google map/satellite view

useing Valuation revision sheets at PRONI to change of owner
PRONI Reference: VAL/12/B/8/14A (1863 - 1879)
he’s there his landlord changes to Martha redford

PRONI Reference VAL/12/B/8/14B (1880 - 1889)
see https://apps.proni.gov.uk/Val12B/RelatedVolume.aspx?7756
his name changes 4a to John Costley in 87 difficult to read as landlord changes Richard Talbot Ford 1880-81 this size of property is unlikely to have a will so without proof looks like a son takes over

I didnt search for carson nearby in griffths as have run out of time
church records next perhaps

BallyaltikilliganG,

Thank you for replying to my post and for all the information. I will have to check it all out.

I've just put the basic information I have on my Costley family in the hopes that someone else with an interest in this line might one day see it and get in touch.
It's through posts submitted by rootschatters that I connected with relatives on other branches so hoping to do the same here.

I should have thought of the Tithes Applotment Books and Griffiths Valuation. I've been using and cross-referencing information from the Census Records & Civil Records (BMD) and should think about broadening my resources.

I am stuck with some of John & Eliza's children (Catherine, Eliza Ann & 1 unknown). The 1911 census mentions 8 "living" children. Would you say that's an 8? (see document attached)
I initially thought this migth not be accurate and that some of them might have died at birth or during childhood but information concerning other children has been relatively accurate.
I've tried first & last name variants, maiden names of mothers during relevant timeframes, immigration records, canadian & usa census records (obviously limited as I don't know their married names if they had one before immigrating)...they don't show up on other family members records (present at birth/death, marriage witnesses, next of kin, etc).
Would you have any other suggestions on where or how to look?

Thanks again,

SJ

Hi Hallmark,

Thank you for your help and the links you have provided.
 
Other than Catherine & Eliza Ann's entries of birth, I haven't found anything else about them on the Irish Genealogy website and nothing matching a possible 8th child for John and Eliza Jane, although I only have a baptism record for Margaret, so perhaps something similar for this 8th one.

Did look through posts on the forum for anything on Costley's but nothing matched, but won't hurt to look again. Maybe I missed something.

I modified my earlier post to attach the census (had to modify the format). What do you think? Before finding out about Margaret, I thought it looked like 6 not 8.
