THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
This has solved a big query I had over this chap.
For some reason he appears only with his family for the census following his birth and then disappeared off the face of the earth
I now know he went to America. He must have been very young when he went.
Oh and as for the spelling, even within the siblings they spelt it differently, from Costa, Coster and Costar!!
Again thank you so much. :-) <3 :-)

Sorry Maureen. I suddenly realised I could search FamilySearch myself. Having only ever used it for UK records, did not think about using it for random worldwide searches, had a bit of a 'doh' moment.
Thankyou for all your help. It was greatly appreciated. <3
