I have looked at the article you spotted Heywood - that particular Anthony Carrig was 83 years old when he died.
'He was of Killaloe, the possessor of some property in the town, and the best fishing rod maker in Europe. He was an intelligent and well informed man, and in early life served a portion of his time to Mr Barry, a bookseller and stationer, formerly in Limerick.'
As Heywood said - the newspaper was Limerick Reporter 3 Sept 1867 - and the report simply says 'A few days ago' - regarding the date of death.
