    Notes 
    • (Research):I do not now believe the Ann / Nancy who ws married to John LAKE was the Nancy LAKE who subsequently married James BURWOOD. Both marriages were in Dartmouth, both men were mariners, which makes it seem likely at first glance. However, in the PR for the marriage of Nancy Lake to James Burwood, Nancy is shown as a spinster. This could be a mistake but in addition in both cases the bride signed, but the signatures appear to be those of different people. ('Ann Hambling' and 'Nancy Lake' only have the letters 'n' and 'a' in common, making a comparison hard, but these 2 seem quite different, and in addition 'Ann's' signature shows mostly letters not joined to the next, whilst 'Nancy's' flows).

    • Witness George Lavers was probably a friend from childhood, not a relation; he was born the same year as James in Blackawton. He was to become linked by marriage, as James's daughter-in-law Elizabeth Baker's mother was a Lavers. George may have been her first cousin; I'm not certain which of two John Lavers her father was.

    Family 1 John HEAD,   d. Yes, date unknown 
    Married Abt 1806 
    • When Reuben married he gave his father's name as John Head. Those who were illegitimate often seemed to name fictional fathers on marriage certs., probably to hide the fact they were illegitimate. However, in that case the surname would be expected to be the same. Reuben married with the surname Hambling, so there is no obvious reason why he would name his father as John Head unless he understood him to be.
      There were John Heads baptised near Blackawton of an age that they could well have been his father.
      (One baptised in Dartmouth in 1769, one in Halwell in 1785, another in Halwell in 1752. A John Head was 'of Blackawton' when he married in Dartmouth in 1807 - possibly one of these baptisms, and clearly in Blackawton around the right time to be Reuben's father)

    Family 2 CREW[?],   d. Yes, date unknown 
    Married Abt 1808 
    • Nancy's first two children were born outside of marriage.
      Her second son Henry also used the surname CREW(S) as well as HAMBLING (or variant). As it was clearly not his step-father's surname, it might have been his biological father's surname.

    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 2 Mar 2021)
      "John Lake of this Parish Mariner Bachelor and Ann Hambling of this Parish Spinster
      were married in this Church by Banns both being of age this seventh Day of May in the Year One thousand eight hundred and sixteen
      By me Thos. Tanner Officg: Minister
      This Marriage was solemnized between us John Lake, Ann Hambling
      In the Presence of William Fox, Henrietta Hyne"

      Was the marriage this Nancy (Ann) Hambling? I think it probably was. Searching the index on FMP there appear to be a couple of other Ann Hamblings. However, one shown as Ann HAMBLING, daughter of Joan Blight HAMBLING baptised in Blackawton in 1782 seems to be Ann Hambling BLIGHT, daughter of Joan. The other, baptised in Slapton in 1784, appears to have married in that parish.

      The Register is one for combined Banns / Marriage entries, but the banns part of this was left blank - like it would be for a marriage by licence. While most were filled in, a couple of other entries were left blank in 1783/84 for marriages said to be by Banns. Whether the Vicar forgot to fill these in, or accidentally wrote Banns when he meant Licence, I'm not sure.
      (Thomas Hyne was a witness at most marriages at this time and was probably Parish Clerk)
