Would silversmith be considered to be the same as jeweller???
William Snr was listed as Hair artist and jeweller

Yes,Nancy, a silversmith and a jeweller are quite often the same.
I have no doubt that that's your fellow's marriage.

I worry about you sometimes. ;-) <3

Maureen! I worry about myself too, gosh I was so excited about being able to find out what happened to William Bisset that I may have missed out on my Thanks!! on the very person who did a lot of work and used sp credits but honestly it wasn't intended..My apologies Maureen, you have been a star <3 My apologies for the delayed reaction...What can I say :-( I'm not sure I can grovel any further down :-\

I suspect there were no children with William and Janet McQueen since she was much older?

No need to grovel at all Nancy. We all get excited when a "lost" ancestor is found and it doesn't mean any help goes unappreciated. :-D
