No 16, Wiliam Silver, Surfaceman Railway, married to Elizabeth Scorgie, 23 Jan 1893 about 6.30am, on railway line near Woodside Station, usual residence 4 Hayton Rd, male, 56 years, son of William Silver, general labourer (reputed father, deceased) and Ann Duncan, domestic servant (deceased), cause; concussion of brain, one hour. Informant, James Silver, son, 4 Hayton Road, Old Machar. Register of corrected entries for the district of Woodside in the county of Aberdeen. The following report of result of precognition has been received touching the death of William Silver registered under nO 16 in the Register Book of Deaths for the year 1893. William Silver, foreman surfaceman, married, male 53 years, died 23 Jan 1893 at Woodside Railway Station, usual residence Hayton Road, Woodside, mother Ann Duncan, cause: Concussion of the brain and shock, the result of a railway accident. Confusion over given ages of both 56 and 53 years because only entry that fits his birth is the one that follows which means he would have been about 60: "Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950: name: William Silver gender: Male baptism/christening date: 22 Dec 1833 baptism/christening place: BANCHORY DEVENICK,KINCARDINE,SCOTLAND father's name: William Silver mother's name: Ann Duncan indexing project (batch) number: C11251-5 system origin: Scotland-ODM source film number: 993307 Citing this Record "Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XBHQ-PVV : accessed 24 Jan 2013), William Silver, 22 Dec 1833; citing reference , FHL microfilm 993307
Notes	In the unofficial and official reports of his death, his age is given as 51, 53 and 56. His mother was Ann Duncan and reputed father a William Silver. The only record found that fits shows that he was born in 1833 which means he was about 60 when he died. To support that, on the 1872 marriage cert to Elizabeth Scorgie, his age is given as 37 and he is a widower, having previously been married in 1861 to Ann Lawrence when aged 28. All this points to the fact that he was certainly 60 when he passed. His parents prove almost impossible to trace apart from the birth entry. The only 1841 census entry that fits has a William Silver, aged 7, on a farm at Banchory Devinick. The household head is a farmer named Martin. Ref: Parish: Banchory Devenick; ED: 5; Page: 9; Line: 490; Year: 1841. However, no trace yet can be found of his father William, or mother Ann who it is noted was deceased by 1861 when William jnr married to Ann Lawrence. Yet to track William senior on any census records.
