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.

Clearly says 8 born, 8 living
.

Yes, that's the one. They do transcribe it as 8. Thank you for confirming this. On the digitalised image of the record there is a squiggle.
Calculating the time between the birth of the orher children (Catherine (11/07/1875), Margaret (04/1877), Eliza Ann (15/04/1879), William James (07/10/1881), George (22/10/1883), Ellen (01/09/1886), Thomas (04/01/1890)), I think the other child must have been born either between George & Ellen / Ellen & Thomas / after Thomas.

Where are they 1901?
Is she a Widow then?
What children are there?
Link?

John Costley was still living in 1901. He died in 1907. On the 1901 census, John & Eliza were living in Magheramesk (house 1) with their son Thomas and a visitor (Margaret Cassidy - 80 yrs old). Thomas was 11, their only child living with them, so I was thinking he could be their last.

James??
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Ballynadrentagh/Ballyclan/916794/

Ah yes William James, this one isn't him...but I remember coming across him during my research. William James is my 2x great grandfather ;D...
He and his sister Ellen were working for the Irvine family (house 30 Magheramesk) http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Magheramesk/Magheramesk/999623/
Margaret/Maggie was already married by 1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Aghalee/Ballynanaghten/1002744/
Not sure for certain but I think this is where George was in 1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Aghalee/Ballynanaghten/1002742/
And as I've said earlier, Thomas was living with his parents in Magheramesk in 1901.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Magheramesk/Magheramesk/999597/
I suspect Catherine & Eliza Ann could/should have been married by 1901 based on age.
On the Irish Genealogy site, more recent birth indexes also show the mother's maiden name which helped me find out more about Margaret, her husband & children, but this strategy hasn't worked for Catherine or Eliza Ann. Perhaps they didn't have children during the 1900s.
-
Just search Marriages or Deaths for children...... find missing one's name
-
I've tried just concentrating my research on Catherine or Eliza Ann (name variants, wildcard, BMD, immigration etc)...nothing on Irish Genealogy, FamilySearch, Ancestry...
But maybe it's worth starting afresh and going over information again. There's so much of it, it's very possible I've missed things along the way.
Thank you for all your time and suggestions. It has brought to light some of the weaker areas of my research I need to go back on.

Sorry to dig up an old post - but no way of private messaging. SJ Bann - I think our family tree maybe crosses with your GGG Grandfather John... let me know if you're still on this site!

Welcome to Rootschat :) you need 2/3 posts before you can use Personal Message system (reply here with something brief like 'okay' and that should do it)

Hi Costley111,
Apologies, I have just seen your post.
I will need to look back on my research. I have been doing much the last few years.
I'll get back to you about John Costley.
Take care

A warm hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia! This is my first post on RootsChat.
I am endeavouring to research a family tree for my father for his upcoming 80th birthday as a surprise. He is from Saint John NB and Irish on both sides.
I'm looking for any parental or sibling information for ELLEN COSTLEY b. circa 1835. Based on my research I believe she may have come from Antrim/Armagh/Down area. She emigrated from Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada (without family, perhaps) some time prior to 1854, when she was married in Saint John. I have done a fair bit of research through all the "usual channels" including DNA and I'm hoping other Costley/Costly family researchers out there might help piece this one together. Cheers from here, Anne
