About Us the Cresswell's
Now that more Parish registers have been publish it has been established that Joel Cresswell married
Ann Burgess on the 23 March 1806 at Cheadle (Cheshire England) Parish Church and James's
baptism is recorded in Stockport (Cheshire England) Parish register on the 12 July 1907.
The family has inherited genes from other family groups who have their own individual pages.
James married Margaret Birchall on the 18th November 1831 at St. Martins Church Liverpool. At that
time he was living in Toxteth, Liverpool and working as a Carter, later a dock worker and agricultural
labourer. They had five children of which only three survived. See Cresswell family group.
Margaret died on the 28 August 1855. James then appears to have left the three remaining children
with the Cowdens who lived in Hawkstone Street Toxteth. Subsequently the two sisters married into
the Cowden family.
He married Alice Broomfield, a house servant, on the 11th November 1855, and moved to Springfield
Road, Old Swan, Liverpool, moving on to Brown Edge and Sutton working as a labourer. They had two
children Joel and Mary Ellen. Joel married Margaret Vose on the 10 January 1880, Mary married Henry
John Fletcher in 1884.
Joel and Margaret settled in St Helens Lancashire and produced twelve children of which nine survived
into adulthood. He worked as a bottle packer and later at Pilkington Brothers plate glass works in the
gas producer works.
In 1921 he was among the first of the Pilkington employees to be transferred to their new plate glass
works situated in Kirk Sandall, Doncaster, Yorkshire. Only the two youngest sons, Herbert Joel and
Henry Cyril came with them. The rest being already married and living in the St Helens area.
Henry Cyril worked for Pilkingtons in the glass mixing room and rose to be a staff foreman. Eric
Cresswell is the eldest son of Henry Cyril Cresswell.
