BUT - Kingswinford and Dudley are just about 4-5 miles apart - "spitting distance"! 
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Thanks for the report of Charles Bragge/Thomas Selvey.

From the dates, it would seem that Mary Silvey was probably baptised Mary Silver at St Thomas' on Dec 1704 to Joseph Silver, a Nailer and Sarah, nee Pearson. I've come up with a marriage for Mary's parents and baptisms for Mary's siblings:-

24 Jul 1701 at St Thomas, Dudley, Worcester, England
Joseph Silver, Nailer. Sarah Pearson.
Notes: Married by Banns. File Line No: 169. Source: FreeReg

All baptised at St Thomas, Dudley to parents: Joseph Silver, Nailer and Mary, nee Pearson: -

Joseph Baptised: 19 June 1702
Mary baptised: Dec 1704
John baptised: 16 March 1707
Job baptised: 26 Dec 1709
Samuel baptised: 16 March 1711/12
Sarah baptised: 20 Oct 1714
Daniel baptised: 26 Oct 1718
