Karen,
This is what I found out by talking to my cousin, so far.William John is buried in St.Clair, now he lived in Girardville for a bit, and he attended Girard college to learn a trade which was masonry.I am not sure whether he lived in St. Clair first or Girardville.Now Ann is buried in the county behind Rest Haven, but you can't go there it's a paupers field.See, Rest Haven used to be a poor house, called an Almshouse, it also housed the mentally ill.My cousin Rose told me that she went there to have a child and the child died.Now, the Brassington connection, he may have been married twice.She couldn't quite remember.I am going up to the Historical Society next week and I am going to the cemetery to check things out.My great grandfather William Cresswell married to Rose Kehler, is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Frackville, Pa.My grandfather Harvey Emerson Cresswell is also buried there.We do have a complete family history, but the cousin who has it is a bit disgruntled, cause none of us would give her any money to go to England to check stuff out and she had to pay for it herself.I am going to try to see if I can see the book, then I can give you a ton of information.
