Who were parents for Joseph Crozier 1906-1984 Ireland

Question

Hello,

I am trying to research the family of my grandfather Joseph Crozier, born 1906. I can see that he was living in Armagh in 1911 and according to census he was living in the same his as his grandmother Ann Reilly (b1840).

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Armagh/Crossmore/Drumgreenagh/321776/

 I can find in the census no history of his mother and father.  

If anyone could help me research his mother / father, I would be most grateful.

Answer 2

I have added identical research notes to the profiles of three Robert Croziers: Crozier-1823, Crozier-1837 and Crozier-498, and created one unmerged match and one rejected match between them.

As regards other points raised in the G2G posts about this puzzle ( https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1026534 and https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1018245 ):

* in online Irish census returns, each household is on a separate page, so there is no possibility of a household being split across pages (unless the household has more than the 15 members allowed for on each page) - but online English and American census returns are enumerators' books, which do allow households to be split across pages;
* it was very common for young married women to return to their parental home for the birth of their first child; and
* it was very common for young children to stay overnight with grandparents and to be enumerated with the grandparents in a census.
