John Silburn was born in 1825 in Market Weighton, [1] a small town which grew on the main road from Beverley where it leaves the chalk uplands of the Yorkshire Wolds to follow the edge of Spalding Moor on its way west to York.
In 1851, in Beverley, the capital of the East Riding, John Silburn married Amelia Trowell. [2] Over the next three years the couple baptise two sons in Beverley: Henry in 1852 and Richard in 1854.
John Silbourne (sic) is a worker in the Linseed Oil and Cake Works on the bank of the River Hull at Hull Bridge immediately east of Beverley. His sister Mary is living with him but working as a servant, perhaps at the Crown and Anchor. We find they were both born at Shiptonthorpe west of Market Weighton, not Goodmanham to the north. [3]
