Hi
Looking for information on an Edward Cresswell born in Leicstershire 1880 approx moved to Nottingham approx 1900 married Alice Palmer.
Thanks

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:-

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?

[Mort29]

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
