Janice, 'Full age' indicates that the person was at least 21 years old, so they could have been 21 or upwards. Margaret's father is listed in Griffiths, in Tullyveery, Parish of Killyleagh. There are no entries for CROSKERY (or variant spelling CROSKERRY) in that Parish, although there is a Robert McCROSKERY in the townland of Tullyveery, Killyleagh Parish. Depending on when James' father died, there is a James Croskery listed in Creevyargon, Parish of Kilmore. You can access the Griffiths Valuation index at www.failteromhat.com You could also try the County Down pages at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirdow2/ there are other pages but my browser is refusing to work at this moment so perhaps someone else can give the addresses of other Down sites. The Proni website is listing Will abstracts, which can be searched free at www.proni.gov.uk Proni also list freeholders and Ulster Covenant, although the Covenant wouldn't apply to your family as they were RC. There is also a site called www.emeraldancestors.com which you can search but you may need to subscribe to get more info. Meanwhile, I will keep a look out for anything else of interest.

What age does 'full age' refer to as listed? Is it 21? Where could I locate death records for them online? I know that James was deceased between 1886 when his last child was born and before Dec 1899 when his daughter married, and Margaret between 1899 and before 1918 when a letter from her daughter to a cousin confirms this. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
