Ancestry's transcription of the 1841 posted by Malyon gives Johanna's age as 70 - his mother? (assuming that 's the same man):

Philip Silvister

Name: Philip Silvister

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1816
Gender: Male
Where born: Yorkshire, England

Her age does look like 70 on the image.


But Pickering is about 45 miles from Wetherby.

Looking at the Baptism I'm thinking it's the Thorner Baptism in 1815....his abode is Scarcroft.

The chances are he lied about is birth as he was already a lot older than Mary Ann Milner when he married her. Also the 1861 Census he gives his age as 1816.

Edit

Also his first child was called Hannah

LondonBelle

Scarcroft is just over 6 Miles from Wetherby.
