Thanks Richard for the information supplied.

I discovered whilst researching, an article in an IOM FHS Journal (Vol. 4 No 1 - 1982) titled 'ON THE TRAIL OF THE CRETNEYS' - are you a relative of the Redferns mentioned therein?

I am pretty new to the family history game and am at present tracing my branch of the family tree via the IGI and LDS films of parish records for Lezayre and Marown.

Anyway thank you again, you have proven that the Cretney family is much more widespread than I first thought!
