    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.
