People who might of known my dad from artane school

[Sinann]

Sinann:
Is she definitely Christina Mary, (also spelling McDonnell for Dan)?

I don't know, that appears to be how her children knew her, she is just Christina on that cert but perhaps she preferred Christina so swapped the order of her names.
If she was Mary Christina than her death may be in the index as Mary, I had looked for a Mary McDonagh, can't remember now if I tried the McDonald or McDonnell names.

Yes, I just wanted a sum up with definite facts, and the possible extra bits as such.  If one of the birth certificates had both names then I would be happier, but we do not know that?

I doubt Dan was given a choice regards the children, they were probably just taken from him.

I understand  what your saying  but why wouldn't  he look for them it's just so unfair

[Kathleen73]

That 1946 birth says Mother was Christina.  Does your Father's birth say Christina, or is the name Mary Christina?

Has anyone found any Costelloe fishmongers in Kilrush?

Added:
Was it definitely the Costelloes who were fishmongers?

I'm always wary of judging the parents in these suitations, he may well have just abandoned his children to the state and gone on his merry way, or he may have missed them every day but didn't have the means or know how to get them back, or he have believed they were better off without him. The state/church rode rough shod over parents back than once they had control a lone father wouldn't have much chance against them.
