Find Ancestors

Hi all.. chasing detail on Thomas Crosby, 1801 - 1882, a sail and rope manufacturers, at 7 North Wall Quay and Sir John Rogerson Quay, Dublin, lived at 62 Amiens St . 3 times Great Grandfather of my wife,
I've seen a note of an Obit. in the 'Cork Examiner' of the 15th of April 1882.. No idea of how to locate a copy of same.
Would be most appreciative of any advices re such, or of Thomas himself, his wife ( unknown) and parents.
My Wife's line is via his daughter Eliza ( or Elizabeth) 1836 - 1873 who married a Joseph 'John' Lanigan, 1818-1878, owner of a Rope & Twine manufacturing business in Dublin. Their two young orphaned children, Ann & John, aged 7 & 8, went out to Australia in 1880, aboard the 'Potosi' but.... No idea who accompanied or fostered them.. lots of questions in this one but it's a new line of inquiry to me of which there is negligible detail in this branch of their descendants. Thanks all.

This looks like it could be the daughter

Hi Gins.. John Joseph, born 16/2/1872 Dublin, married to Elizth Broadhead.. Yes,that's right, son of Joseph"John" Frederick Lanigan & Eliza Crosby.. detail of marriage & death certs matchs but stll, no clues as to who accompanied the orphaned 8 year old John Joseph & his 7 year old sister, Ann Jane Mary Lanigan, out to Australia in 1880.. so query remains..
Re Ann, yes that is her Death in 1952, married to Pat Burke

Susan.. the 1881 Death.. hadn't seen that one thanks.. other advices but no validation seen, had cited 1801 - 1882..the Dublin North location does look ike my man.

Unless there were 2 Thomas Crosby's living on Amien St Dublin this may be Thomas 1842..... Dublin Directory shows the following.....

manufac. and Ringsend, each 22l.

Apologies for delay in responding have had several weeks away & just now catching up. Many thanks Eringobragh 1916 for your advices. The 40 Amiens St address is interesting as we know Thomas of Thomas Crosby & Son, sail and rope manufacturers, lived at 62 Amiens St. and is ref'd to as Captain in documents of son James Joseph Crosby. Added to that is a Royal Navy Reserve list which records a Thomas Crosby, Seniority in Merchant Navy 03/04/1826 with date promoted to Hon Lieut. 26/08/1862. Later, there are also said to be records with Thomas as Marine Superintendant, Dublin Board of Trade but not seen those.
