1869 Slovak Census house number questions
I am determining if I can merge two Mihaly Rohaly's, born circa 1850: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/L8DB-NRT and https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L6WZ-Q4N
I know all of L8DB-NRT's children were born in Krivostany, house number 27. And now, thanks to the sleuths on this board, I know on his marriage certificate (https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/172802/cant-find-slovak-marriage-record), L8DB-NRT was from house number 27.
For L6WZ-Q4N, I found this census record:https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK8-N38G-H?cat=385993&i=348&lang=en
where he is listed in household "II". Unfortunately, his baptism record for household II does not contain a house number. However, I've found the baptism records for the children in household "I" cite house number 27.
Is it safe to assume since all three households are on the same census page, they are all in house number 27? Or perhaps there's a house number hidden in plain sight that I simply don't understand because it's all in Hungarian?

The census pages were done by dwelling, so yes, all of those families lived at number 27.
I haven't particularly paid attention, but if forced to guess a start date for the use of house-numbers in church registers (in Hungary), I would say mid-1850s in most places — but this is definitely the sort of detail that must be determined individually for each place. (Some places, the numbers stayed stable for multiple generations. Other places, they re-numbered at least part of the village practically every time someone built a new outhouse. Similarly, some clerics were progressive and started recording the numbers as soon as the bishop made vaguely-approving noises about them, while others apparently never heard of them, so there's no sign of house-numbers until the old guy retires and the younger guy takes over.)
