Henrietta's parents are henry creswell born hull in 1865 and Elizabeth Webb born in Liverpool in 1864 approx - Henry's parents were Jacob Gowland Creswell and Anne Oxley. Anne's father was called henry born in gateshead in 1815.

John married mary anne and they had 3 children susannah born 1871 henry born 1873 and ralph 1875 - John's parents were called John born Kirklea in 1793 and Margaret (surname unknown) in Hebburn in 1800 - John's sibling was called Jane born in eighton banks gateshead in 1836 - I have checked census records and find that in 1871 Jane is on the census with her husband Francis Patterson and daughter Margaret born 1870 in Hebburn can anyone help me please
