i expect this topic has been exhausted but my family lived in Morland Cottages in 1901 they lived at 3.1 and the surname was Costello i have followed their move from there and they stayed in the same local area but don't know how to get earlier info all help appreciated cheers Sushi08

Hi Sushi and welcome to Rootschat. Best way to get a response is to start your own topic and hope for the best.

What I have found is that if the parties giving the information signed with an X (in this case bride and groom) then the person recording the information often wrote phonetically which gives rise to various spellings of names, locations etc.

Also the GRO are very helpful if you contact stating you have just received a certificate that you find difficult to read or an address you can't place.

for a bit of history on the area (use find and Moland to go straight to the relevant piece) http://www.chaptersofdublin.com/books/NorthDub/cosgrave10.html

thank you that was a lovely piece of history and i intend to include that in the portfolio for my family that have no idea of there origins
getting back to my original question any ideas to trace on line relatives before 1901 census
i am aware a trip to Dublin to check all or any records is a must do but would prefer to try via the internet many thanks

Is this your Costello family - 3 Morland Cottages ?

what information do you already have, and are you looking for ?

e.g. birth certs for one of the children (to show Frances' maiden name) , marriage cert  etc ?

hi Shane sorry just seen your 1st post OK i have everything going forward from 1901 but in reverse order nothing before that date another interesting fact is Lizzie Costello  who at 16 could not read or write was not working but aged 26 in 1911 she is listed as a Shorma Woman now i find this intriguing as i have had a couple of different explanation's of what a Shorma Woman is all help appreciated also if you can point me in direction of pre 1901 that would be a bonus or what sites to look at cheers

usually the place to start is to locate a birth cert for one of the children to establish the mother's maiden name. I had a quick look at the BMD index but as far as I can see there a number of possible matches for each of the children - so nothing certain yet. You could have to order a few certs to make sure you ended up with the right one.

Once you find a correct birth cert the next step is to search for a marriage. Sometimes this is possible using just the husbands name and the wife's first name and checking to matching index references - but again this did not show up a cross match due to the number of possible matches. I'll have another search tomorrow.

The other option is the (free) parish records on www.irishgenealogy.ie  (more RC records are due to be added later this year)
