Can you list the names of the siblings of this couple and their children
You might find one of the maternal uncles on a census as visiting family or witnessing a wedding or christening

Joseph was a widower on marriage in 1856.
Do you have any idea of his approximate year of birth?

Full details of death certificates do not begin until 1871 on Irish genealogy https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ but you could try searching the deaths - time consuming with common surnames.
Depending on Joseph’s age, his parents may not have lived that long  :-\

Do you have your family in an Irish census?

Here is your previous thread - just for reference - little information

1911 Thomas Campbell
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Wood_Vale_Ward/Cumberland_Street/163708/

Your other thread didn’t really come to a dead end. You were asked for information but just gave a vague reference for Thomas’ birth.

Here is Thomas’ marriage
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1883/10922/5990478.pdf

Annie was a witness and Joseph described as a labourer. Do you have a marriage for her?

Joseph is not described as deceased on Thomas’ marriage but that doesn’t mean that he was alive - just that the info was not given.

Yes I found that marriage earlier and tried to find her in 1901.
