do you want to see his family in the relevant census - ie ID his parents?

This is the only lad in Leics 1878 - 1882 :-

Births Sep 1881   (so he missed the 1881 census)
 
CRESSWELL  Edward    Barrow S.  7a 172


The Barrow District covered:-

He married in Leicester in 1905:-

CRESSWELL  Edward      Leicester  7a 643

Thanks very much for your prompt reply. I wonder if it is the right Edward, I believe that they had at least two sons Howard and Bernard born approx 1900? Is there any way to check?

prior to about 1911/12, Mothers maiden names weren't shown on the Birth Index entries.

If any of these lads were 'yours', you'd have to seek them out on the 1911 census:-

Births Jun 1909   
 
CRESSWELL  Howard    Leicester  7a 197   


Births Jun 1906   
 
Cresswell  Bernard    Barrow S.  7a 160   

~~~~~~~~
Births Jun 1907
 
CRESSWELL  Bernard Thomas     W. Bromwich  6b 841   

~~~~~~~~
Births Jun 1909   
 
CRESSWELL  Bernard Hewson     Grimsby  7a 639
