Hi and welcome to the Forum. Can I suggest that you follow the links below. The first will take you to the GENUKI site which has three Costicks, one of whom I think is your James. The second is to the National Archives, and the Service Records of ten Costicks, again one of whom I believe is your man. http://www.genuki...rds/C.html http://www.nation...5Fdate+asc Using these as a starting point it should be possible to trace his career in the ADM 175 series of documents, particularly if there is a need to fill any gaps. Unfortunately none of these documents will help you directly with family relationships. I'm afraid it's a case of people in the right place at the right time, and the use of any available Census data. Regards Martin |

Hi John, A little more to add to your family research. Church of Ireland Baptismal records:- Costick. Maud of James and Ellen. Baptized 6 March 1889. Born 23 December 1888. Father Coastguard at Cahore Station. Parish Donaghmore. Co.Wexford. Costick. Herbert of James and Ellen. Bapt. 21 September 1890. Born. 29 April 1890. Coastguard at Cahore. Par.Donoughmore. Co.Wexford. Costick. Rupert of James and Ellen. Bapt. 4 September 1892. Born 10 June 1892. Coastguard at Cahore. Par.Donaghmore. Co.Wexford. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THOM'S IRISH ALMANAC Coastguard List. Costick, James. Station Officer. Glenarm Coastguard station, Co.Antrim. 1906,1907, 1908, 1909. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- British Admiralty Navy Lists. Costick, John. Chief Officer 1881 and 1882 at East Swale, England. Any other relations in the Coastguard Service? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O324.Narrow Escape from Drowning. 1894. Yesterday morning, about 9.45, a young lad named Patrick Chambers, went down from the city to bathe on the strand at the rear of Ringsend Coastguard Station. It appears that he was unable to swim, and having ventured out too far he got into a hole, where he was beyond his depth. He immediately called out for help, and his cries attracted the attention of the Coastguards. J.Costick was first on the scene, and having divested himself of his clothing swam out to his assistance. Richard Bowden, another Coastguard, ran into the water with his clothes on, and swam out. Both he and Costick succeeded , with the assistance of Frederick Gammon, who ran into the water without divesting himself of his clothing, in landing him. Reference; The Irish Times 2 July 1894. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O325.Distinguished Bravery in Ireland. 1894. Awards by the Royal Humane Society to Murtagh Magginnies, 53, Chief Officer of Coastguard, and James Costick, Commissioned Boatman, for saving Daniel Seagrave and Michael Dempsey, the latter a lad of 16, having endangered his own life in attempting to save that of his companion. The two latter were bathing at Ringsend, Dublin, on June 14, and Seagrave, being unable to swim, and having ventured out too far, was in immediate danger of drowning. One was rescued in three-quarters of an hour, and the other after three hours exertions, the Society’s method of resuscitation being adopted eventually with success. Reference; The Irish Times 28 July 1894. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards Tony |

Hi John After making my original post I realised that the James on the GENUKI site was most probably your Gt Grandfather, but thought you would work this out for yourself. Since a family connection has now been made to your Gt Gt Grandfather, Charles, it would be worth ordering his pension applications from the National Archives (see link below). The NA first provides an estimate, which is usually about 0.85p per sheet plus postage - order paper copies - the whole process usually takes 2-3 weeks. http://www.nation...mage1.y=13 What I can tell you about Charles is that he entered the CG Service on 28 October 1837, joining from HMS Tunderer, and was posted to Osmington Mills, his next move was to Brighton on 19 October 1839. Finally, in the 1901 Census data available on this site, your Grandfather is again missing from the family, but if you say he was at Dublin Naval College at this time, this would explain his abscence.

John Perhaps while you wait for Charles Costisk's pension application, which should provide details of his early RN service, you would be interested in his time in the CG Service. I have put the following together using the ADM 175 records: removed from Osmington Mills 19 Oct 1839 to Brighton removed from Brighton 15 Sept 1842 to Greenway (now shown as James Costick in the records) removed to Garrison Point 26 May 1843. Promoted to Commissioned Boatman and removed from Garrison Point 7 Oct 1847 to Gillingham (back to Charles again) Promoted to Chief Boatman and removed from Gillingham 21 August 48 to Whitstable. removed to Tankerton 24 Aug 49 removed to Seasalter Cliff 9 May 49 removed to Cadmus 10 April 58 removed to Herne Bay 16 Jan 1860 (now shown as Thomas Costick) Finally pensioned while at Herne Bay 31 July 1865.

Thankyou for all this new information which i am now using in my family history. The main link i am missing is documented evidence between my grandfather James born in 1886 in (greenore louth ) and his father james born 1856 kent. I have applied for my grandfather's marriage certificate which i hope will tie the two together. regards john Edited by john costick on 23/02/2009 09:00 |

John, have posted you details of the Costick family on private message. Hope you receive them, am still a novice at this. There were 11 children your grandfather being the second eldest, and he was my uncle. I am the daughter of the youngest son Albert which makes us second cousins, I think. All the children were born in Ireland the birth records being held by the Registrar General, Charlemont House, Dublin, which I think is a very old address but it could be a link. Your grandfather James joined the Navy and served on a ship called the Monkbarns( or something like that, the writing is very old and indistinct) and left her 21st May 1907. Hope this helps and as I said in the private message I have all the birth dates and places of birth. |

This is my Lucky day. I had a note left from my sister Sheila today saying she remembered when she was a young girl that she stayed with an Uncle Albert and the daughters name was Jill and son's Robin. Hope this is the same Jill. I have emailed you. Regards john |
