22 Aug 1888 103 Chapel Street, Old Machar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
He thereafter married Elizabeth Annand but there's no record of the union in parish registers.
There are also Ancestry trees which have conflicting parentage for the Alexander Silver who married Mary Leiper which make it difficult to know which line to follow. This may take a fair bit of unravelling.
There are a couple of possible births for Elizabeth Anand (spelling variation), and perhaps the more likely is this one Christening Date: 03 Jan 1802 Christening Place: TARVES, ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND
