I am trying to finish some lose ends on my husbands side of our family tree.
He as a distant cousin Ellen Ann Parker who married a William Joseph Costello she was born may 1889 in Burnley Lancashire they married in 1915 in Burnley, but i cannot find a birth for him or deaths for both of them.
I went onto Family search .org and put in his name it came up with a William Joseph Costello born in Ireland but he was married to a Christina Lidiard so this is not the one i am looking for, but cannot seem to find another.
Any ideas

I have looked on Lan opc to see if i could find a birth for William Joseph under St Mary Assumption records but no, so i still do not have his birth or deaths for both of them.
I may come across them at some time during my search

William Joseph Costello, age 33, born St. Helens, & wife Ellen Ann arrived New York 27 Jan.1922 (on "Zeeland" from Antwerp) intending to go to a friend in Chicago, Illinois. His father- Thomas Costello, 8 Law St., Accrington, England.

You can use Family Search to look for them in later U.S. records (1930 census, 1940 census, death records, etc.)

I think this may be the family in 1901, mum's maiden name is Duffy.

Thanks to all.
these replies have given me something else to work on so i may be able in the end to complete this part of my husbands tree.
Just to work on deaths now for both of them
-
deleted - wrong info
-
Maybe he added the Joseph later and he was baptised just with the name William, because this does happen because my grandfather was baptised just William Flynn and he later added the name Joseph, so maybe i will see if i can find a death in that area for just a William Costello not William Joseph.
thanks

I have looked on the record of the couple going to America suggested by aghdowey.
And this is the correct couple because it gives her fathers address as 88 Masters st Burnley and this was the family home of Ellen ann parents.
So i think they must have died in America and that is why i have been unable to find deaths for them
-
If I read the record correctly, they were going for six months, although they could have stayed, and there was a woman and daughter, Mills, with them who were going for three months - to the same address but they are from Derbyshire.
I think William had been there the year before also.
-
I have found him in American census in 1930 it states he was widower, so Ellen must have died between 1922 and 1930.
So they must have stayed in America and not as stated in previous post only went for 6 months
-
Good find :)
Where is he living in 1930?
-
He is in New York but he is just under the name Joseph but what makes me feel this is him is that on the immigration paper is occupation is motor driver, on the 1930 census is occupation is chauffeur which is the same.
I have not put this information in my tree yet in case someone came back to say i was wrong.
-
I wondered about that one also.does it read immigration 1924 though?

William Costello, son of Thomas & Elizabeth (Duffy) had elder brothers named William and Joseph.
Elder William Costello birth registration Accrington 1876, mother's maiden surname Duffy.
Baptism Sacred Heart, Accrington 29th Oct. 1876, born 30th Sep. according to baptism register.
Abode Accrington.
Possible death 1887 aged 10 registered in Oswaldtwistle sub district.
Joseph Costello 2 birth registrations in 1883.
Mother's maiden surname Duffy, registered Oswaldtwistle sub district.
Mother's maiden surname Pickup, registered Accrington.
Joseph Costello baptisms at Sacred Heart, Accrington in 1883:
Parents Patrick & Elizabeth (Pickup), abode Accrington;
Parents Thomas & Elizabeth (Duffy) abode Oswaldtwistle. Baptism 19th Aug., born 28th July.
Death registration Joseph Costello 1883 aged 0, Oswaldtwistle sub district.
If this is the correct family, Joseph may have been added to William's name in memory of his other dead brother or he may have chosen it himself when he received the sacrament of confirmation.
Margaret, sister of William, married Francis Pope at St. Anne, Accrington 1911.
Are you sure it's the correct William Costello, given that the William Joseph Costello who emigrated in 1922 was apparently born in St. Helen's? (reply #5)

Looking at the image again,it says Last Permanent Residence was St Helen's not that he was born there.
