I searched the Irish Family History Foundation's online database at ROOTSIRELAND.IE. It contains abt 20M B/M/D records for most Irish counties, including Co. Galway. Records before 1863 are increasingly sparse: almost non-existant before 1800.
For John and Bart(..) Costello B 1845 and 1842 +/- 5 yrs, Co. Galway, I found 5 and 1 records respectively. However, the parents' forenames didn't begin with either a "U" or a "W". For many early records, the parents' names weren't recorded.
These results aren't encouraging. Hope this helps. Good luck.
