Crosbie, Edward William (1828)
Edward William Crosbie, son of Edward William Crosbie and Eliza Usher, was born in Liverpool, Lancashier, England in 1828. He married Adeline Moore, daughter of John Moore, in Dublin on 17 Jul 1855. They had a daughter named Ada Crosbie.
Edward William Crosbie, eldest son of Sir Edward William Crosbie, 5th Baronet of Maryborough (1755-1798) and Margaret Patience Ferguson, was born around the year 1785. Though his parents marriage was absolved in 1790, he retained the surname of Crosbie and lived on good terms with his father. In 1921 married the widow Eliza Ussher, née Neville, of Newry, County Armagh. She had two sons by her previous marriage, Sheldon Ussher (b. 1811) and Richard Ussher (b. 1812), and Edward William Crosbie raised them as his own in addition to his and Eliza's four children: Henry Crosbie (b. 1823, Mary Louisa Crosbie (1824-1887); Elizabeth Ellen Ferguson Crosbie (b. 1827); and Edward William Crosbie (b. 1828). Edward William Crosbie died at his home in Liverpool, on 31 December 1839.
"The Crosbie family had been Chief Bards to the O'Mores, chiefs of Leix for many generations. The original family name - Mac an Chrosáin (son of the rhymer) - reflected this occupation.
Seán Mac an Chrosáin and Pádraig Mac an Chrosáin changed their names to John and Patrick Crosbie in 1593. John Crosbie became Bishop of Ardfert in 1601 and his son Walter later became the First Baronet. Sir Walter Crosbie's son, Sir John Crosbie, Second Baronet, was "attained for his part in the 1641 rebellion" but apparently his lands were later restored to him. Sir John's son, Sir Warren Crosbie, Third Baronet, seems to have been the first to live at Crosbie Park and Sir Warren's heir and successor was Sir Paul Crosbie Fourth Baronet and father of Edward and Richard Crosbie. Sir Paul died in Noveber 1773 and Edward succeeded to the title.
The family estate at Crosbie Park was destroyed after the 1798 rebellion."
