Eliz. was an Edward Crescye, and Crescye was at that period the mode of spelling the French town.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Creasey, or Cressey as it is spelt in a few instances, is an ancient Lincolnshire name. As Cressy it occurred in this county, as well as in Norfolk and Kent, in the 13th century. It is evidently derived from Crecy or Cressy in Normandy, but was established in this country long before the famous victory of Edward III. in 1346.
