  Burial	23 Aug 1827	Sydney, New South Wales   [2, 3]
  Notes	John Silk died 10 days after his mother. Both were living in Pitt St, possibly together so both may have died of some contagious disease. John 's father was most probably Joseph Nobbs with whom Margaret had a long standing relationship. John's death & burial records give his name as John Silk, however the grave inscription read John Nobbs, son of Margaret Silk. As Margaret predeceased William Silk she would have been unable to marry Joseph Nobbs.
