Wigan Album

The Revd. C Cronshaw appears as the Officiating Minister at the Marriage of James Cronshaw's daughter, Alice Maud (aged 21) to the Revd. John Crofts (aged 42) of Dalton, held at St Thomas' 9th June 1886.
James Cronshaw came from Darwen - so someone might be able to pick him and Charles up in a Census.
He, like Tebbs, died in harness at St Thomas and is buried in Wigan Cemetery with his 9 year-old son, William, his wife Ellen (died in Lancaster Asylum in 1896). Also in the grave is Richard James Cronshaw, died in Abram Collieries in the explosion on 19th December 1881 which killed 48 men and boys - but the online records give the age of the RJ Cronshaw killed as 49, which is a bit strange.
James Cronshaw arrived at St Thomas' in 1852 as the Curate, and was made Vicar in 1854. When he got married to Ellen Morgan on 19 July 1860 he signed with an X, according to the online-register... but I can't see that as true, given the education he would have had. Perhaps it's a mistake, and his wife signed thus.
All references to his address in the Registers give him as living in St Thomas Street - where the houses opposite the church seem to have been terraces - so no posh villa on Park Road for him.

Thank you Reverend for that illuminating insight into the past lives of the “Cronshaws". It remains to be seen if further research can divulge yet more interesting facts, I hope so.

The Revd. Canon (of Manchester) Christopher Cronshaw moved about quite a bit - Parishes in Bolton, Leigh, Manchester, and Westhoughton, which he left in 1908. He and James were probably brothers - the father given for both at their marriages is Richard (a Book Keeper in 1852, deceased by 1862). I don't know why I called him Charles in the above Comment - I've only just learned it was Christopher.

yes i looked it up they were brothers
