1871 Census looks like Croyden Brook, Cheshire

[LizFox]

Hi.  My family were living in Kirkleatham in Yorkshire in the 1871 Census and the wife was born in what looks like Croyden Brook, Cheshire.  I should be grateful if anyone can shed any light on the place name.  Is it unusual for her to end up living so far from her birth place?  The family she married into were Ironstone Miners in Yorkshire so could this have been the reason that she ended up in Yorkshire?  Sorry, the copy census won't upload.  Thanks all.

Hi LizFox

Can you give details of the person you are looking at so we can check the census image?

Thanks Kay

In Cheshire there are places called Preston Brook, Shipbrook, Utkinton & Cotebrook, and Witton cum Twambrooks.
As Kay says, for questions like this you should give the details so that the census entry can be looked at for an opinion.

I'm seeing contemporary newpaper references to  "Croyden Brook, in the Township of Tintwistle " and "Croyden-brook, in the Vale of Tintwistle". I am wondering if it is Crowden.
