<p>The Welsh documents which, with those of Shropshire, came to the Crosse family with the marriage in 1828 of Anna Mary Crosse to Thomas Bright Ikin, whose mother was a daughter of Richard Kenrick of Nantclwyd and Woore, Esquire, have been deposited in the National Library of Wales.</p>

Deposited by Miss K. M. Crosse, through Messrs. Wilson, Wright, and Wilsons, Preston, 1st August 1946.

There is some slight evidence that the Crosse family originated in Lathom, but Adam of the Cross appears in Wigan in 1277. In the next century properties were acquired in Wigan and Liverpool and shortly after 1400 in Chorley. In the middle of the 18th century Shaw Hill was built in Whittle-le-Woods
