Freebmd doesn't seem to have any events for surname Creddes or Credder. I suspect the enumerator has mis transcribed surname from householder's form

There is a birth 1854 - Thomas Montgomery Geddes - both have mmn Pemberton.

In 1861 2791/34/14
Thomas W is a nephew in the household of John and Elizabeth Geddes.

So - no closer there.

Harry C Geddes is a widower in 1911 and occupation fits with the 1891 census
