Re: Costelow/Costellow
I found your posting tonight while doing a search on Ira Costelow, but I am really looking for information on your father and his sister, Ellen Elaine Costelow, my second cousins whom I have never met. I find I am too late to meet your father - my condolences. But I sure would like to know whether Elaine is still alive and her married name. Gertrude Mae Foster was my mother's first cousin. She was the daughter of Jesse Dale Foster and Dorothy Ellen "Dolly" Bodger. Dorothy was born Ellen Bodger 16 October 1878 at Burnham, Somerset, England, the daughter of John Bodger and Susan Marks. Well, now we will have both Marx and Marks in the family tree. Susan was born Susannah Marks on 2 December 1842 at Ashculm, Hemyock, Devon, England, the daughter of Job and Mary Marks. Job Marks was born about 1808 at Clayhidon, Devon, England, the son of Edward Marks and Susan. And that is as far back as I go. I do have a lot more information on most of the family except for your branch of the family, which we lost contact with years ago. The last I know about Elaine is she married and moved to Santa Maria, California, in 1952. I would appreciate it if you could fill me in. Thanks. Roger
