Crozier family of Gortraw House.

I assume you have this record from the 1911 Irish Census (free online at ww.census.nationalarchives.ie/)

Residents of a house 1 in Gortraw (Mullynagowan, Fermanagh)

I don't know why it says Jessie has 3 children when there are 6!

It shows Jessie was born in England but I found this in the 1901 census:

Residents of a house 5 in Carton Demesne (Maynooth, Kildare)

You might want to order the certificate which will have more info but costs geni.nidirect.gov.uk/

There are no Croziers or Staples in the Irish phone book in Enniskillen or Fermanagh

This is the probate abstract for the 1935 death of  John Crozier. I don’t think it’s the right family:

Crozier John of Brockagh Tempo county Fermanagh farmer died 18 January 1935 Probate Londonderry 1 April to reverend Francis St. Clair Caithness clerk and Hugh J. Stewart farmer and justice of the peace. Effects £1102 5s. 3d.

I think this is the correct one though:

Crozier John George of Gortra Newtownbutler county Fermanagh farmer died 29 November 1932 Probate Londonderry 21 June to Jessie Florence Crozier the widow. Effects £161 5s. 10d.A W/A D.B.N. D.R. 3.11.69

The will and full probate file should be in PRONI in Belfast. You’ll see that the estate was not wound up until 37 years after George’s death. The abstract is annotated DBN which means the executor was unable to undertake his/her duties, either through incapacity or some other factor (eg living abroad) and the estate remained administered for that very lengthy period. Possibly this oversight only came to light after Jessie’s own death.

Hello DandJCrozier -- I have just found this posting of yours, from several years ago -- but as you can see from the name -- I also am a Crozier. My family immigrated to Canada from Co. Tyrone, but in tracing our DNA, we've found many relatives in Fermanagh and I know that most of the Croziers lived in Fermanagh (following the plantation from the Scottish Borders). I'd really love to be in contact with you -- I am on Ancestry, FTDNA, and MyHeritage -- look forward to e-chatting with you,  and hope you did make that trip to Ireland that you'd been planning in 2016! Cheers, Jean Crozier

Hi,

I only just seen this message and am now following this conversation.  My family are the current owners of Gortraw, Newtownbutler - where the Crozier family lived and your extended family.  If you ever visit Ireland again you are more than welcome to call.

Thanks

Please feel free to contact me directly! We have not made it to Ireland yet but really want to. We also have not been able to find any living relatives of our Crozier family back in UK/Ireland.

Hi there, 

My name is Vanessa Waldron and I am currently researching the Crozier family of Gortraw House for a dissertation topic through the University of Cork. I understand the sensitivity of past events and my research is not to condemn any individual, my research is to understand better the justice system of the time. If anyone has any information or photographs they would be happy to share or to engage in chat about the area I would be absolutely happy too. Unfortunately, COVID restrictions are hampering my research and access to archive material.

I can also share my dissertation when it is finished with anyone who would be interested. 

Many thanks and happy New Year to you all, 

Vanessa Waldron
