4. Elizabeth Syme's death record in 1859 confirms her parents as John Syme and Isabella Brown. John Symes occupation recorded as a Miner! John Syme and Isabella Brown marriage he is recorded as being a weaver in 1785?
What I cannot confirm is the birth dates of John Syme and Isabella Brown, and their parent's, as they both appear to have died before statutory records began!
