| Notes |
- John Silver's father, also John, is recorded on his death certificate as a journeyman mason and was potentially still living when John junior died in 1924. Without knowing when he was born, there are a couple of John Silvers who were masons born around 1860 or earlier who are potentially his father, given John junior was born in 1883.
The best 'candidate' is a John Silver born around 1859 Fettercairn, Kincardineshire. The others come from districts too far removed from Lumphanan to be seriously considered although it's not impossible that they could have been in the district at the time Mary Cockie fell pregnant to John Silver. But, given the closer proximity between Fettercairn and Lumphanan, the 1859 John Silver stands as the obvious choice. On 1901, he is found in Glasgow as the son of law on a John Joseph Blair, so obviously was married to Agnes Blair.
An online tree gives him was the son of William Silver and Elizabeth Smith, who is turn was the son of Joseph Silver and Isabella Alladyce.
That Joseph Silver is reportedly from Dunnottar, so they all fit in the Aberdeenshire district or surrounds.
As well, on 1881 census, Mary Cockie was at Drumoak which is only a few miles from whether the John Silver in question was living at Clodhill, Banchory Devenick.
All assumptions, but reasonable ones.
