Writer. Born in Alton, Hampshire, he was the son of Jeremiah Waring. He moved to Wales in c. 1810, living in Swansea and then Neath. He established the short-lived English-language periodical The Cambrian Visitor: A Monthly Miscellany in 1813. In 1817 he married Deborah (c. 1786–1867), sister of the prominent Quaker ironmaster and philanthropist Joseph Tregelles Price (1784–1854; DNB). Waring himself later abandoned Quakerism and joined the Wesleyan Methodists. He was a keen advocate for liberty in church and state and campaigned for parliamentary reform. He befriended Edward Williams (pseud. Iolo Morganwg) (1747–1826; DNB) and, after the latter’s death, published recollections of him in the Cambrian. His Recollections and Anecdotes of Edward Williams, the Bard of Glamorgan, appeared in 1850. In 1827 he sought information from Southey for his accounts of Edward Williams.
