With regard to the wedding of John Crosbie, if he was a son of James in number 3 and it was the John refered to by "Roches" maybe he married twice?

I may be missing something here but "Roches" hasn't mentioned his Mother's name as far as I can see. What makes you thing John Crosbie, son of James Crosbie, may have married twice?
His wife Mary Jane Murphy was my stepmother and they both went on to live in Oxford England until my dad died and then Mary Jane returned to live in Wexford, He was not married to my mother

Silly me i have made an error concerning the date of birth for my dad and obviously that's why he's not on the census, Date of birth is ( 22-may-1911 ) at Roches Terrace, son of James and Ellen Crosbie and Ellen's maiden name was Hamilton, now on his certificate it says only John but i was always told his name was John Joseph? and when later in life he used to be called Jack in Birmingham which i am told was common for John.
So now it seems i have relatives named Hamilton and there seems to be many in the 1911 census but where do i begin to find either names related to me as all this is very confusing to me and would dearly love to meet either if possible, well it is a good reason to have an Irish holiday LOL
I took a look at the Martin and Paddy Crosbie profession and have been playing  it over and over and have the family doing their nut at me, i feel quite proud i have to say having stuff like this being told me.
I very much appreciate all that is being done for me as if not for you fellas i would still be twiddling my thumbs and great thanks for the site.
Seems some of the Crosbies have been naughty over the years Jack2227

I have found this site by chance and how glad i am as i notice the name Crosbie is well mentioned.
My name is John Crosbie and my father John Joseph was born in 1901 roches terrace and father was James and mother Ellen, I never got to know my father due to my mother and father splitting up just after i was born in 1955 Birmingham UK, I have visited Wexford a number of times to see where my dad was born on the terrace.
On my first visit there approx 13 years ago i knocked on a door to speak to a lady to find out if she knew of a Crosbie, she told me that at one time the terrace was taken up by a few families of Crosbies and i was shocked to hear of how many people was raised in such a small house.
I was hoping if someone here could help me in getting to know what my family of Crosbies was like and how day to day life was for them, I would be very grateful for all info offered as not knowing about ones family can always be on ones mind in wanting to have knowledge about them?
The picture on my profile is of my dad taken in 1943 when he came to work in Birmingham UK and the picture i have inserted is my granddad James at my grandmother Ellen's graveside.

Many thanks to all
