     Sarah Creber was born cir. 1846 in Marystow, DEV, ENG.1,2,3
     Sarah Creber married Edward Spurr, son of William Spurr and Phillipa UnknownSurname, in May 1870 in Cuyahoga Co, OH, USA, the date/place coming from the 1870 USA census, after quite a search, including the images of the English marriages, to no avail, which I now understand why. Wonder why and how, she ended up in Ohio and married Edward there?4,5,6,3,7
     Sarah Spurr died aft. 1901 ?Chatham, KEN, ENG.
     
     I do so love it when a genalogical hunch pays off. I'd been looking to see what happened to Sarah after the 1861 census when she was with her parents. The only Sarah of the right age and birthplace that kept coming up in my searches was a Sarah Spurr, wife of Edward. After following this latter family thru the assorted records, and nearly paying money for the birth cert of a Percy John C Spurr whose birth was registered in the Tavistock District in 1874, I finally found the marriage of Sarah Creber to Edward Spurr in the Cuyahoga County probate court records in Ohio which confirmed her maiden surname.8

     The census of 1861 showed Sarah as a 15 yr old b Marystow living with her brother Edward in the household of her parents William and Betsey Creber at Warren Hill, Marystow, DEV, ENG.9
     Sarah Spurr appeared on the census of 10 Jun 1870 as wife of Edward Spurr in East Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co, OH, USA, enumerated as SPUR(sic): Edward 26 carpenter and joiner; Sarah 24 keeping house, both b ENG. Married May 1870.5
     Sarah and Edward Spurr arrived in New York, NY, USA, on 28 May 1874; from Bristol on the Great Western, passenger list showed them as SPURR: Edward 30, carpenter; Sarah 28 wife; William 3 child; Percy C 6mths, infant.10
     The census of 3 Jun 1880 showed Sarah with her husband Edward, their sons Percy and William, their dtr Ethel at 82 Burt St, Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co, OH, USA, household enumerated as SPURR: Edward 36 carpenter; wife Sarah 34 keeping house both b ENG as were both sets of parents; Children: William H 9 b OH, Percy J 6 b ENG, both at school (next pg) Ethel M 4 b OH.6
     Edward and Sarah Spurr appeared on the census of 1891 at Stoke Lodge, Stoke D'Abernon, SRY, ENG, as SPURR: Sarah, 44 b Marystow, married; Edward, 46 living on own means b S Heliers, Jersey (visitors to Martha Fraser).11
     The census of 1901 showed Sarah with her husband Edward, their dtr Ethel at 6 Albany Tce, Chatham, KEN, ENG, household enumerated as SPURR: Edward 57 living on own means, b St Heliers, Jersey; wife Sarah 55 b Marystow, DEV; Dtr Ethel 25 b Ohio, USA.3

E. & O. E. Some/most parish records are rather hard to read and names, places hard to interpret, particularly if you are unfamiliar with an area.
