Crossinvar? trying to locate Gt Gt Grandfather

[nsc]

Hello,

Can anyone help?

My Gt Gt Grandmother was Martha Hope, born c1834 in Nantwich, Cheshire. In the 1861 census, she is visiting her parents as Matrtha Moulton, aged 27, a Carter's Wife.

She is there again in 1871, (aged 35 ) with an 8 year old son, William Moulton, born in Montgomery, South Wales.

In later censuses, William records his birthplace as Crossinvar (I assume, a phonetic interpretation), Wales.

However, I can't locate his birth, his father, nor his place of birth.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Neil

There's this possible marriage:

Sept q. 1857, Nantwich, vol 8a page 383

Martha Hope and John Moulton are on the same page.

I can't think of Crossinvar at the moment - maybe along the lines of Croes (or Groes) yn fawr  . Nothing that rings a bell on the Welsh Gazeteer either 

Nothing so far for William on the North Wales BMD which includes all of Montgomeryshire births.

You beat me to it with the Marriage Gadget!The only Birth I could find for a William Moulton is in 1862,but in the Great Boughton District of Cheshire.The GRO details are Volume 8a,Page 38.This Birth is listed for the April Quarter.

Hello William

There seem to be quite a few William Moultons 

I've looked at William on the 1901 RG13/3362 Folio 118 Page 16.  It looks like Crosinbar and someone has written Carmarthenshire next to it. There are a number of Cross xyzs in Carmarthenshire and it's not really my area.

On the 1891 RG12/2856 Folio 63 page 18 he's 26 and it's Crossinvar, Wales

Thank you both for your help.

I've posted on the Carmarthenshire board - thank you for that lead, Gadget. I'll also check out the 1883 marriage - it sounds promising .
