  1. 1.  John SILVER was born on 20 Jul 1834 in Fetteresso, Kincardine, Scotland, UK (son of Adam SILVER and Charlotte JAMIESON); died on 16 May 1892 in Mill of Monquich, Cookney, Kincardine, Scotland, UK; was buried in Stone in Kirkyard, Maryculter, Kincardine, Scotland, UK.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Census: 1841, Carnieburn, Fetteresso, Kincardine, Scotland, UK
    • Census: 1851, Carnieburn, Fetteresso, Kincardine, Scotland, UK
    • Census: 1871, 2 Chapel Road, Crathie and Braemar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK

    • Census: 1891, Chapelhill Hope Cottage, Crathie and Braemar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK

    Notes:

    There is a claim that this John Silver was acquainted with the author Robert Louis Stevenson when he spent time in Braemar and, hence, the likely source of his Treasure Island character Long John Silver. Seems to be correct given that John Silver lived at Braemar and Stevenson visited there in 1881; before Treasure Island was published.

    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


    Birth:
    Possible fit for her parentage:
