William Moulton, born Grosinbach (?) c1864

[nsc]

My g-grandad, William Moulton (according to the 1901 census for Nantwich, Cheshire) was born in what reads like 'Crosinbach' or 'Grosinbach', Wales, in c1864.

Firstly, does such a place exist? I've looked on maps and searched the internet, but can find no reference. What place name might I have misread?

Secondly, if it does make sense, can anybody check the 1871 census for me?

Thankyou very much. I'd be dead chuffed to have a Welsh connection!

I took a look at this image myself and it looks like Cros inCar. This rings no bell and they gave no counties if someone was born in one of the other countries of the Union. I thought the closest might be Groesesgob in Flintshire or Carreghofa which is now LLanmynech [Shrop] and lastly Crucadarn in Brecknockshire. None of these appealed so I tried to identify his birth and also failed. Sorry

Thanks very much for trying, anyway.

I'll keep searching. If I can access any earlier censuses for the Nantwich area, I might find something different.

Thanks again.
