July 6, 1613 Marriage of Giles to Mary Arnold Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, The Netherlands. Mary Arnold Birthdate: circa 1594 Lowestoft, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom Death: Died 1657 in England, United Kingdom Daughter of Nathaniel Arnold and Alice Arnold
Father of Nathaniel Sylvester; Grace Kett; Constant Sylvester; Giles Sylvester, Jr.; Peter Sylvester; Mary Cartwright and Joshua Sylvester
Brother of Geoffrey Sylvester; Ursula Sylvester; Peter Sylvester; Nathaniel Sylvester; Joshua Sylvester; Henry Sylvester; Constant Sylvester and Bonaventura Sylvester
The most detailed treatment of Giles (Hoff [1994]) makes no suggestion about his parents or siblings beyond a hint of a brother Geoffrey. On the other hand he details the marriage to Arnold and the children Constant, Grace, Nathaniel, Mary, Joshua, Peter and Giles and infers a death before Nov. 1652. He also makes it appear possible that Giles and Mary died in Amsterdam (pp 14ff).
