I am trying to find the wife of my 3rd greatgrandfather Edward Creech who was buried in Manchester on 17 Aug 1837 • Rusholme Rd Cemetery, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Lancashire, England at the age of 52 giving his YOB 1785. He may have been born in Ireland or Manchester.
He had three children:-
Mary Creech 1816, married 1859 in Manchester
Samual Creech 1819 married 1839 in Manchester
Susana Creech 1822 married 1852 in Manchester
I can't find any records of the marriage of Edward Creech or the baptisms of his three children. Can you please help. Trevor Walmsley, Christchurch, New Zealand.

1851 census shows son Samuel was born Ireland. As he was the youngest - it's highly likely Edward was married in Ireland

Lancs OPC has witnesses John Green and Charles Andrew. at Collegiate

Ancestry has the image.
John Green must be either related or a family friend.
Charles Andrew signs many so he must be the parish clerk.
Both Robert Berry and Ellen Creech wrote their own names.
