Do you have anymore on the ancestry of Silvey Outlaw? I have a Harriet Silvey Witherington b 1832,, daughter of a James Witherington. It is rare that I have seen the name Silvey. Is it a family name or a nickname for Sylvia? I have found no other mention of Silvey in the Wi(e)therington or Worthington family.
