    1. [NIRGW] Costley or Costly
    2. "Costley" is the surname of the family I am trying to locate but man, those brick walls hurt. So far, William (Costly) Costley b July 1821 in Ireland, d February 15, 1892 in Campbellford, Seymour Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario, Canada, son of William Costly and Sarah Unknown. He married (1) Jane Unknown. (Tombstone for Jane, wife of Wm. d April 24, 1854 located at West's Cemetary, Seymour Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario, Canada) married (2) Philippa Hoskin June 18, 1858 in Seymour Twp., daughter of Pasco Hoskin and Mary Unknown. She was born in England, d "a few years prior to William in 1892". William's religion is listed as Wesleyan Methodist. William's obituary says " The deceased was a native of Ireland, and emigrated to this country (Canada) about the year 1837. For several years after his arrival in this country, he resided at Cobourg and made himself quite useful as a local preacher in that locality. His father was an English Church clergyman." The 1871 Canadian Census, Durham West, Clarke Co, an Elizabeth Costly is listed as 58, b Ireland, Wesleyn Methodist, Occupation Farming. Could Elizabeth be a sibbling to William? These are the facts as I know them. So, can anyone HELP!!!!! , please and thank you!!! Heather
