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

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.
