1861 census shows a Silas Phelps age 3 months living with his parents John and Charlotte Phelps
1871 and 1881 census show Silas to be living with his grandparents James and Mary Brain.
Silas married Margaret Williams in 1886 - had issue.

I can only assume that Slowhands is correct and the name Silas was mistranscribed as William. Jean Herbert
