There is a Patrick Crosbie aged 8 in 1911 son of James 32 and Ellen 31 at 3 Roches Terrace with siblings Margaret James & Bridget. The father is a fitter.
James Gaul a nephew is also listed - he was a sailor.
There are more Crosbies at Number 1 that year parents are Peter & Margaret. Peter 62 is a moulder and his son also called Peter is a fitter. These trades may be associated with Pierces Foundry and the Lockout of 1911

I just saw this post. I am a little busy now but will get back to you at weekend. Crosbies were very prevalent on The Terrace as we called it. Bessie lived with her daughter Mag and Healy family in number 6. Maggie Crosbie was the widow of Martin Bergin in about number 10 when I was young and your headstone refers to number 3. I don't know how much you are aware of Irish entertainment history but Paddy Crosbie of "School Around the Corner" and Martin Crosbie a well known singer were related to the Roches Terrace Crosbies. More later

I knew that shagger would have the information. He really needs to write a book about his memories of Wexford before he falls over and forgets it all.

It is probably Brady's - now a bit bigger. I think it might have been Purcells but I am sure Shellback will correct me.

Wexford / Re: Wexford Lanes

Great bit of history there. I still reckon Ovenhouse and Bakehouse were the same place. Wexford is notorious for using different names for the same streets. Even the newspapers would use them interchangably.
My apologies for not replying on Dodd's Lane:
Dodd’s Lane was just north of Temperance Row . In one of the houses of Dodd’s Lane lived Mrs. Singleton who sold herrings from a basket. She travelled the streets calling "Fresh Rosslares, fresh Rosslares". The herrings cost 2 pence, 3 pence or 6 pence a dozen, depending on supply. The name of the lane probably had connections with Dodd’s Coach Builders, which was located in the area.
The journal should still be available with the lanes article - contact Wexford Town Library
