cressal family

[calvin007]

I'm trying to trace back the ancestors of sarah cressal. I believe she married William Laflin in 1775 in Halstead Essex, but can find no signs of her siblings or parents

Hello calvin007

If you input Cressal into your search engine from your supplier it would probably come up with "nowt" but if you used the variant button you would land up with lots and the name would be Cresswell

with that in mind......

From the IGI's they have a few Laflin's christianed Ringshall, Suffolk....... parents William Laflin and Susan Cresswell (Sarah Cressal?)

This William Laflin and Susan Cresswell were my 4 x great grandparents, and from my research did not get married in Essex - they were both born and lived in Ringshall, Suffolk I will have a look through my records and see if I can trace a William Laflin with connections to Essex.

Hi

Another marriage in the same church.
George Creswell of this parish and Susan Baker of the parish of Ashen were married by banns on 2 Feb 1775.

George signed his name as George Cressall. Witnesses John Cook and Thomas Arnall.

I haven't reasearched anybody in Essex as most of my family come from Suffolk, Sussex and Hampshire. From the limited information I have regarding the Cressal/Cresswell/Crussel family - William Laflin and Susan(nah) married in Halstead, but I don't know why and if Susan(nah) comes from that area -  what would be the next best step to take? Are there any good websites ?
