Hi Martin

1841 he seems to be with his parents, but is he the one in 1851 as a 12 year old with his Silcock grandparents?

There is a death in June Quarter 1889 that could be him

Hiya Martin
Nathan Silcock  ( a minor) a Weaver from Culcheth
Alice Parker ( a minor)from Culcheth
married 4th Aug 1839 at St Oswald Winwick,Lancashire

www.lancashirebmd.org.uk the death off David
1889 David Silcock aged 50   Aspull   Wigan and Leigh  ASPL/24/50
Aspull to Culcheth is 23 miles.....so it looks like Ruth has found David...the age is spot on....do you have a date of birth for David ?

Thanks Ruth & Allan.

Sorry Allan i only have his year born.

I am wondering if David had Children , dose this show in the 1881  or other census ?

David  & his brother Nathan lived with the Grandparents when Nathan (snr) died 1843 & Alice their mother dies or disappears around the same time (i cant find a good match for her )

Any help please .

Hi Martin

I've gone through the census returns and found nothing for him - even with some interesting spellings of Silcock!

The only thing I can think of is that Alice married again rather than died when David was a child and David took his stepfather's name on an informal basis. 

Trouble is that is turning up a blank as well... :(  I found his brother Nathan easily but just not David

OK...IF...and it is only IF the David Silcock who died aged 50 in 1889 in Aspull is yours....there is a Submitted record for him saying he married Elizabeth around 1865...so the year is about right...this would make him 26...lets have a look...allan
OK...David Silcock married Elizabeth Melling at St Georges , Aspull Wigan in 1863
lancsbmd
freebmd states sep qtr.....so lets look for Elizabeth Silcock in 1881 census around Aspull
allan :)
BAD NEWS ...David Silcock who died in 1889 aged 50 ...parents Thomas Silcock and Margaret Phillips....so forget all in this post...but at least you can eliminate the David Silcock who died in 1889 Aspull...........so if we can`t find him in 1881 census...did he emigrate ?

Thanks for your help
I will look at Ancestry .Com at the library to see if there is a immigration
record for David Silcock.
