Gresford (district or parish) lies North of the River Clywedog (which passes through Wrexham) and West of the River Dee, which divides Denbighshire, Wales from Cheshire England.
Only two miles North of Wresham, but on the Welsh side of the boarder. In 1872, the map shows GRESFORD parish included the townships Caca Dutton and Erlas.
Abenbury Fawer is just to the South (burial place of some of the early Tomlinson and Eddowes family)
