Stonehaven Journal 24 June 1869, p3.
At Stonehaven, on the 20th inst., by the Rev. John Watt, Mr John Murray, mason, to Isabella, third daughter of the late Mr W.Silver.
Note that newspaper entry gives marriage date as 20th but official record shows 18th.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Labourer

Notes:

Based on death certificate, his parents are recorded as James SILVER and Elpset EDWARDS. Is it a mistake or a coincidence as Wm also married an Elspet EDWARD? No other records have yet been found to be sure as to which James SILVER was his father. Working theory is that BK7656 James Silver son of James Silver and Margaret Leith is the father.

James married Elspet EDWARD. Elspet was born on 16 Oct 1773 in Durris, Scotland, UK; died on 23 Jul 1862 in Carnieburn, Cookney, Scotland, UK. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Question on age at death given as 91 years 9 months. If the age is correct, the best fit is an Elspet Edward born and baptised 2 Dec 1771 in Moray, northern Scotland. However, she would have need to have been born Oct 1771 for her to be 91 years 9 months at her 1862 death.
If we assume that her recorded age at death is a couple of years out, then best fit is a 16 Oct 1773 birth at Durris, Kincardine

Possible fit for her parentage:

On the basis that her age may not be correct on death cert, this could be her baptism which is closer to where she lived as well
