In a relatively small municipal cemetery in Stockport, Greater Manchester, UK is one of a limited number of known resting places of American Civil War veterans in the UK. The grave marker once had a 3ft high cross mounted above it but it has been damaged recently and the cross now leans on the marker. The grave is in a section of the cemetery used mainly for Catholic burials and the graves around his carry many Irish names. The inscription on the upper part of the sandstone marker reads:-

Of your charity pray for the soul of George A. Costello A veteran of the American Civil War who departed this life July 31st. 1915, aged 75 years. R.I.P.

The lower part of the marker is partly obstructed but what can be seen reads:-

Also Mary Costello, his wife who died Nov. 19th. 1919, aged 78 years. Oh Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on her soul. Also Emily Rose Parr, who died Aug. 26th. 1924, aged 21 years.…
