Hello Steve,
I assumed that you didn't have the 1901 census info as you say you only know their names.
This site: http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com
only has the name indexes of the census but shows your family living with Catherine in Loughnageer. There are several Whelanes in Loughnageer but no Crowleys.
As this all seemed familiar I rechecked and found that I have already given you the census info in February
The census- together with the 1911 census is available to order on microfilm through LDS family history centres. It doesn't look as though parish records are there but 'googling' Clongeen shows that you can pay for research (usually costly). http://www.ireland.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=TownlandsInCivil&civilparishid=2540&civilparish=Clongeen&citycounty=Wexford
This site: http://www.failteromhat.com (Griffiths Valuation section) has info from around 1850s again shows Whelan/es in Loughnageer but no Crowleys.
This site: http://www.from-ireland.net/lewis/wex/clongeen.htm gives a very brief outline of the civil parish of Clongeen in 1830s - not much info but it adds a bit.
You can get BMD certificates for any born after 1865 - again you can usually search the indexes at LDS centres.
This also comes up in a 'google' but there is no year to reference the obituary (obviously recent) http://www.munster-express.ie/obituaries/obit_whelan%20maureen.html but it may give you somewhere to write to to pursue your enquiries.
I do hope this helps

Hi Steve,
Whilst I can't connect up your family to mine I am also researching Whelans of Loughnageer and do have quite a few Whelan names.
I don't see any Crowley in the Griffith's Valuation for Clongeen or Ballylannan civil parishs so perhaps the Crowleys didn't originate there? I know there are some Crowleys still living within a few miles of Clongeen.

Steve,
In June I spoke to a lovely 86 year old man - Kevin Whelan of Loughnageer, and mentioned the Crowley connection. He said that Johanna Whelan who married Peter Crowley was a sister of Tom Whelan, who was probably a Whelan of Ballycullane rather than a Whelan of Loughnageer (but he wasn't sure).
He said they had lots of children including Mrs Pat Stafford who has a shop in Ballycullane and her daughter married a son of Kevin (above) whose name I seem to have written down incorrectly so if you'd like it I'll see if I can get it for you.
Hope this helps,
Eileen in Sydney

Hi Eileen.
Thanks for the reply.Do you know if the shop in Ballycullane run by Margaret Stafford.Margaret (Crowley) Stafford was my grandfathers sister.Any info you have would be great.
Steve
-
No, but if you look in the Irish phone book http://www.eircomphonebook.ie/ you will see two Staffords in Ballycullane.
If you wish to write to them (presuming you live outside Ireland) you can just address it to Mrs. Stafford at the shop in Ballycullane, Co. Wexford and I'm positive it will get there.
-
Hi Steve, Joan Cronin who owned the little shop in Ballycullane was my aunt. Her mother (my Grandmother) was Margaret Stafford nee Crowley.
BTY - Kevin Whelan of Loughnageer is my uncle.
I'll ask my mother about the Crowley's when I talk to her. If you want to send her a letter:
Molly Whelan
Ballycullane, New Ross, Co. Wexford.

Hi desiw1 thanks for your reply.I will get in touch soon.
Good luck in your search.

The picture is starting to build up for you Steve.
Now you know your grandaunt Margaret Stafford nee Crowley had at least two daughters: Joan (later Cronin) and Molly (later Whelan).
You know from the 1901 census (online) the approximate dates of birth of your grandfather Thomas and most of his family, who lived in Loughnageer.
You know from the 1911 census (online) that at age 20 Thomas was working on Martin Shannon's farm in loughnageer.
You know from the 1911 census (online) that his parents, in Loughnageer, were married 31 years and had eight children. This number implies a marriage in 1880 but as the first child was born around 1885-1886 I would suggest they were married later than this. The name Peter Crowley is fairly uncommon so you may find this record is his http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#marriagePlaceId=1928899&marriagePlaceLoc1=Wexford%2C%20Ireland&searchType=close&givenName=peter&surname=crowley&p=recordResults as it matches the record for a Johanna Whelan marrying at the same time. In which case if you go to the GRO site you can order the marriage certificate which should tell you the names of their fathers.
If you do that please let us now the names and where they were from. Especially if Catherine's husband turns out to have been from Loughnageer not Ballycullane.
Good Luck,
Eileen

Hi again Sandra
Thanks for all the info .I am a bit confused on your info on Thomas my grand dad he died in 1943 from a heart attack.He was in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in ww1.
All the best
Steve

Thomas Crowley I refer to is father of Peter Crowley.
Your Great Great Grandfather.
He is mentioned on Peter Crowleys marriage certificate to Johanna Whelan.
We know nothing of his origin from Church records as we do mot know where he originated from. County or Parish.
-
Might this be the marriage of Laurence Crowley in 1918?
To Lizzie Sinnott at Wexford RC Church

Hi Sandra I think you are right about Laurence’s marriage in 1918 .Why I said I was confused about Thomas was that you mentioned the picture from the 1970s.Is it okay to send you my email address through a personal message.
All the best

Yes. Prefer to go through person email to share .
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Steve,
If his service record has survived (with over 60% of WW1 service records burnt during the WW2 blitz), then those that survived are on Ancestry or FindMyPast which as you probably know are subscription sites.
Currently don't have a subscription to either.
You could contact the Royal Dublin Fusiliers website to see if they can help.
