My mother was a first cousin of Paddy Crosbie and we share the same great grandmother: Catherine Stafford.

 My mother's maiden name was Murray. My grandmother (Catherine) and Lily Crosbie were sisters!

 I will try and find and upload a wonderful picture of Martin Crosbie aged 5, Catherine, Lily, Nellie and my grandfather John Murray with a horse and cart, looking very grand.

Hello John,

I am a daughter of Paddy Crosbie. My great grandfather was Peter Crosbie of 1 Roches Terrace. His oldest son was called James. It is possible that this is the James Crosbie in no. 3 as although I have his birth in 1881 which would make him 30 not 32 as per 1911 census, I have not verified the year with his birth cert!

According to the information that I have. Peter was born in 1851 and was married to Margaret Bolger. They had 8 children James, Martin (my grandfather), Annie, Margaret, Richard, Peter and Elizabeth (but known as Peeney and Bessie and I believe they were twins).

I hope this was helpfull. If you believe we are indeed related and you are looking for further family information let me know..
