Some notes from Alan

Some things I noted down years ago while working on other things at the Public Records Office in Belfast. These documents name Croziers in Moorfield without saying anything about how they are related to each other.

Griffith’s Valuation from 1860 lists Robert Crozier in Moorfield, leasing a house, offices and land (24 acres) from James Lendrum. That’s the uncle of the James J. Crozier who wrote the family history.

The Tithe Applotment Book from 1826 has two properties held by Croziers. There’s a Joseph Crozier with 6 acres who must be James J. Crozier’s grandfather. And there’s a Robert Crozier with 11 acres.

One document (D.1834/1/61) is a Lendrum lease to Robert Crozier, Moorfield, 28 Sept 1811.

T.2735 is a Lendrum map showing Richard Crozier with 21 acres in the corner of Moorfield adjoining Girgadis, Keenogue and Drumbinnion, on the south side of a road (to Aughnacloy!) opposite a junction with a road leading to a river which separates Moorfield from Knocknagar and Drumbinnion.

A note on the other side says:
1798 April 27th. Richd Crozier’s part of Moorfield which I surveyed contains 23 acres.
May 19th 1803. Wm and Thos Crozier, Bog, 2 roods, 20 perches.

D.590/116 is the will of John Crozier of Moorfield otherwise Cavantilliecormack in the Co. of Fermanagh, 18 August 1764.
