BMDB data

     Margaret King Creber was born cir. Mar 1812 Walkhampton, DEV, ENG.1 She was baptized on 1 Apr 1812 in the Par. of Walkhampton, DEV, ENG; the entry reading: "Margaret King daughter of John Creber and Ann his wife."1
     Margaret King Creber married Nicholas Ware on 7 Apr 1835 in the Par. of Sheepstor, DEV, ENG, #11 by license Nicholas Ware and Margaret King Creber, both signed, Wit: Richard Creber (assumed to be her brother) and Samuel ?Atwill?2
     Margaret King Ware died bet. Jun 1884 - Sep 1884 reg. Hoxton New Town, St Leonard Shoreditch, LND, ENG; and does not appear in the Sheepstor burial records. I have assumed, but not yet proven, that she is the Margaret Ware death reg. at Shoreditch in the Sep qtr of 1884 (subsequently confirmed by 3gts grddtr.)3,4,5

Census/Where lived/Occupations

     Margaret Ware and Nicholas Ware appeared on the census of 1841 Public Hse, Meavy, Roborough Hundred, DEV, ENG, and are assumed to be husband and wife. They were enumerated as WARE: Nicholas 41 inn keeper; Margrat (sic) 30; Jane 15, Lucy 10, Arminal 5, Henry 9 mths Also Jane May ?KIRAN 15 lodger. All b DEV.6
     The census of 1851 showed Margreat with her husband Nicholas, their sons Henry, Theophilus and James, their dtrs Arminal, Mary and Sarah, her husband's family from a previous marriage, Lucy Ditsworthy Warren, Par. of Sheepstor, DEV, ENG, household enumerated as WARE: Nicholas 54 warrener b Sheepstor; wife Margreat (sic) 39 b Walkhampton; Children: Lucy 24 b Devonport; Arminal 15 b Sheepstor; Hennery 10 b Meavy; Mary A 6, Theophilus 5, Sarah 3, James 1 all b Sheepstor Serv John GRAY 29.7 Margreat Ware and Nicholas Ware were likely to be ?DEV or ?HAM, ENG, in 1861 but as yet, no search criteria I can think of, has located them. (I've not yet resorted to searching image by image.)8
     The census of 1871 showed Margaret with her husband Nicholas, their dtrs Mary and Sarah Wellington Pl, Alverstoke, HAM, ENG, household enumerated as WARE: Nicholas annuitant b Tavistock; wife Margaret 59 b Walkhampton; Dtrs: Mary A ANTHONY widow 26 annuitant, Sarah C WARE 23 both b Sheepstor.9

All the other info

     I wonder how many more Margaret King Crebers I'm going to find? This one I've missed in the parish registers, several times, as she is on the 1812 page that is filmed sideways. The entry is perfectly clear, I just kept missing her when reading the page.
Finding Margaret King Creber and Nicholas Ware was a fascinating learning experience. Not only did they intentionally harvest rabbits (yes I had to check that is what a warrener did, and am still having trouble reconciling that to the rabbit pest problem in my birth area of Central Otago, NZ), but their Devon place also had its share of nearby prehistoric sites. Check out the Stone Row at Distworthy Warren and House at Ditsworthy Warren which may be that of Nicholas and Margaret.10,11,8

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.
