May actually be Patrick GEORGE Costelloe. Grandson remember Patrick b in cty Clare. Birth cert and death cert of sons show as Roscomanur Ireland.
The COSTELLOs and COSTELLOEs are the decendents of the
Anglo-Norman name de Nangle, who arrived soon after the "conquest"
(read, year 1066), and settled in Connacht. The name is recorded in the
"Annals of the Four Masters", with references, dating from the year 1193,
when the name had changed to Oistealb. The name futher evolved to
MacGoisdelbh and subsequently, to MacGoisdealbh. Later anglicized to
MacCostello. Their stronghold was established in the Barony of Costello,
near Ballaghaderreen then in Co Mayo, but now in Co Roscommon.Ed Costello: 8/22/01
One of my Costello correspondents sent me the information you have
developed on the ancient origins of our family name. I have been doing a lot of
research on this subject, both on the internet and by visiting the
University of Notre Dame library in South Bend recently. Basically you have the
general background of the Costello name, except it is somewhat garbled. I have
cross-checked through a number of sources, including Notre Dame's
extensive collection of rare Irish books. The following is the history of our name
confirmed through a number of sources.In the lare 1160s two Irish kings, Dermot MacMorrough of Leinster, and
Tiernan O"Rourke were feuding over O"Rourke's wife. O"Rourke, with the
help of King Rory(?) O"Connor of Connaught got the upper hand, and MacMorrough fled to England
seeking the help of Henry II, King of England. Henry was busy fighting
with the King of France over his holdings in Normandy, and referred
MacMorrough to his Cambro(Welsh) Norman lords is Wales, particularly Richard DeClaire, Earl of
Pembroke, commonly known as "Strongbow". MacMorrough offered Strongbow
his daughter's hand in marriage plus the successorship to his Kingdom in
Leinster. Strongbow saw this as chance to obtain a Kingship in Ireland,
out from under the heavy hand of Henry II, plus marriage to MacMorrough's
very beautiful daughter; so he gathered together a group of his fellow
Cambro(Welsh)-Norman vassals, and invaded Ireland
to help MacMurrough. These Normans invaded Ireland in five waves between
1168 and 1172. Among the Norman knights assisting Strongbow was Gilbert
deAngulo, from Angle in Pembrokshire, and his two sons, Jocelyn and
Costelo deAngulo. The deAngulos settled in Co. Meath (in Leinster) and
established Baronies there after their successful invasion. In 1235, a group of young
Norman lords from Leinster decided to invade Connaught (northwestern
Ireland) where they defeated one of O"Connor's decendants, and established
baronies. Many of these Normans intermarried with the lrish, and, as the old
saying went "became more Irish than the the Irish themselves", speaking Gaelic
instead of French-Norman. One of these young lords was called by his Gaelic
name "MacOisdealbh", meaning"Son of Costelo". He was the grandson of
Gilbert deAngulo. By that time the deAngulos were known as "Nangle" in Ireland
(This probably was because they came from Angle in Wales). MacOisdealbh established
a barony in Co Mayo (in Connaught), which lasted for almost 400 years. Eventually
the name "MacOisdealbh"became angelicized to "MacCostello" and ultimately the
"Mac" was dropped. (The Costellos were the first of the Norman invaders to adopt
the "Mac" prefix by the way). This is basically the origins of our name. Hope this helps you
in your work on our name.

son: Walter (b.1833, d. 1910) married Anne Burke (1824-1894). Walter and
Anne had a daughter, Mary Ann Costello, born in Ireland, but lived in Rutland Vt (1852-1926), and
she married John Henry Kelly (1850-1917). The Mary Ann Costello and John H Kelly
are the grandparents of Princess Grace Kelly (of Monaco).
Later these Costello s were in upper New York building railroads. Thought to be cousins.A Patrick Costelloe arrived in US 11/2/1864, 21 years old, via ship Benjamin Adams from Liverpool.

Kenmare County Parish County Kerry
When the bishops and clergy met at Rathbreasail in 1111 to reorganise the Church in Ireland,
they established the Diocese of Ráith Maighe Deiscirt, which was co-extensive with the area
of Iarmhumha. At the Synod of Kells in 1152, however, the corresponding diocese was called
Ardfert, a title that was retained until modern times, when the diocese became known as
Kerry. The great cathedral at Ardfert, built on the site of a previous church, became the seat of
the local bishop. The first reference to the diocese in a papal document is in a letter of 1200 in
which Pope Innocent 111 instructs the Archbishop of Armagh with the bishops of
Kilmacduagh and Clonfert to install the legitimate bishop and to expel an intruder whose
election was canonically null.The twelfth and following centuries saw the introduction of several new religious orders in the
diocese. The Cistercians founded an abbey at Odorney, the Canons Regular of St. Augustine
founded abbeys at Rattoo and Killaha, the Dominicans founded a priory in Tralee and the
Franciscans established friaries at Ardfert, Muckross and Lislaughtin. These added a new
dimension to the Church in the diocese. Due to the influence of the Normans, one notes the
prominence of non-Gaelic names amongst many of the pre-Reformation bishops – de Valle,
Ball, Fitmaurice, Stack and Fitzgerald.A change took place in the aftermath of the Reformation. All the abbeys and friaries were
confiscated and a new type of priest and bishop appeared.Following the Council of Trent (1545-63) Irish colleges were established on the Continent to
train priests for the Irish mission. The first continental trained bishop to be appointed to the
Diocese of Arfert was Rickard O’ Connell., provided in 1641 and consecrated two years later.
He was a native of Iveragh and was educated in France and in Spain. After his appointment as
bishop he lived in Killarney, the first bishop of Ardfert to do so. In the 1640s he established a
seminary in Tralee. Amongst those who taught there were Tadhg Moriarty op, Conor
McCarthy pp, Killeentierna, and Francis O’ Sullivan OFM. These three priests were martyred
by the Cronwellians and their causes for beatification are being examined in Rome.
Unfortunately Rickard O’ Connell’s initiative failed. After his death in 1653 the diocese was
ruled by vicars apostolic. In 1697 Denis Moriarty was proposed for promotion to the See of
Arfert.However, due to strong opposition from some clergy and gentry the appointment was delayed
until 1720, by which time he was sixty-eight years old. He died in 1737.In the early years of the eighteenth century the Penal Laws were enforced. In 1704 all Catholic
clergy in the diocese had to register before a clerk of the peace, say where they were
ordained and name the parishes under their care. Each parish was to have only one priest.
Severe penalties were laid down to punish those who broke this law. This did not, however,
deter other priests from ministering to the people. Although the Penal Laws may not have
been enforced as rigorously after 1745, there were few enough churches in the diocese. Of
those that did exist, most were just mud walled buildings with thatched roofs. This situation
gave rise to the custom of the ‘ Station Mass’. The lot of the clergy was no better. Bishop
Niccholas Madgett built a house in Tralee, where he lived for £16-3-10. It wasn’t until the
nineteenth century that most of the churches were built with stone and roofed with slate.The early years of the nineteenth century saw an improvement in the life of the Church in the
diocese. Cornelius Egan, who had been in charge of an ecclesiastical seminary that his
predecessor had established in Killarney about 1803, succeeded Bishop Sughrue in 1824.
During Bishop Egan’s episcopate he founded eight convents and built many schools. He was
a great pastoral bishop, spending many hours hearing confessions. He witnessed the tragedy
that hit the people of the diocese during the Great Famine of 1845-49, when at least a fifth of
its population died or emigrated. Six priests died form disease, caught while administering to
the sick and dying. Others helped to organise food depots, while the nuns distributed what
they could from their own kitchens. Bishop Egan made the, as yet, unfinished cathedral
available to the destitute. During his latter years he suffered from ill health. In 1853 he
petitioned Rome for a coadjutor. David Moriarty was appointed. On the death of Charles
Sughrue in 1856, Moriarty automatically succeeded as Bishop of Kerry, as the diocese was
now called. He was one of the great bishops of his day. He had been president of All Hallows
College, Dublin and was responsible, to a large degree, for its rise as one of the foremost
ecclesiastical colleges in the English –speaking world. As Bishop of Kerry, David Moriarty
travelled the length and breath of the diocese administering the sacraments and preaching to
the people. He was a strong advocate of the national-school system of education and a firm
believer in its role in catechising the children. David Moriarty built St. Brendan’s seminary,
which would supply hundreds of students for the priesthood for the home and foreign
missions. He invited the Franciscans and Dominicans to return to Kerry. He was a great
believer in the benefits that flowed from parish missions. Under his guidance a major
church-building programme was undertaken. He completed the work on the present
cathedral, dedicated to Mary in 1855. The church in Kerry had found its feet. David Moriarty
had laid the foundation on which his successors could build.married Crinagort parish in Bonane cty Kerry Ireland. 1927 letter says b GONAVE.

may be Denis Sullivan and Anne Corkery(from info on Florence line who said this was his parents)who married 3/24/1808 at Killarney Kerry Ireland. this is most likely correct, as our Denis would fit being first born son and named Denis.
a Denis Sullivan b and Bapt 4/1786 at Killarney Kerry . He was son of Denis Sullivan and Mary Buckley.the hypothesis is that Michael came from County Kerry either from Sneem or Kenmare. He raised his family in Bantry Bay, County Cork, before they all emigrated from Ireland.
It would appear the first 3 children s mother probably Anna James, although a death certificate lists Florence s mother as Anna James, and Daniels as Julia. Michael didnt marry Julia till 2/1828 so mother on death cert is in error.
have seen as Julia Collins also
The Flynns and Sullivan family in the area known as the Beara Peninsula on the border of county Kerry(East of Kenmare) and county Cork. McGillicuddys from west side of Kenmare near Ring of Kerry.
