There are a few Shearers and Spiers in the parish records

Yes, thanks Ellie.

I can't see a marriage on SP for a marriage of William Shearer to a Margaret Speirs/Spears.

They are brothers. I have no death for Margaret before 1841 census.

This one ...

... or sister of Mary and no way of telling.

Is that for James the S-i-L?

The death certificate for Mary nee Shearer posted has the occupation of her deceased husband James which I can't read.

I thought it started with W but is it Mason? I'm not looking for his occupation in census but that word on Mary's death cert.

It may or may not agree with his occupation in census as son-in-law James Wylie may have guessed.

It looks to start with a W.. S-I-L is tinsmith.

Yeah, W as in Widow, so Wan... ?


The strangest one I've seen for a mistake by an informant was merchant seaman for weaver.
