   I searched for Richard Creswick on FMP and found it easily. All four   
   marriages should be consecutive in the parish register, so there it was,   
   the very next marriage. Elizabeth Hancock, 20, married James Roberts,   
   21, on August 7 1837, at Sheffield Cathedral.   
      
   The GRO index demonstrates that Elizabeth's maiden name was Hancock, but   
   the earliest child to Phileas and Elizabeth Russell in the census was   
   born around 1850, so the marriage you want is probably just before then.   
   It doesn't seem to be indexed in FreeBMD. Neither obvious Elizabeth   
   Roberts marriage leads anywhere immediately helpful. I'll keep digging.   
      
   I hope this helps
