Silures Explanation: It certainly sounds like Sillers. The only name I have been able to find fairly similar to this is the Silures, as given in this extract from a BBC page as inhabitants of Britain around the time of the Roman invasion. "Image of axe and shield The defeated Iron Age tribes of Britain © At the end of the Iron Age (roughly the last 700 years BC), we get our first eye-witness accounts of Britain from Greco-Roman authors, not least Julius Caesar who invaded in 55 and 54 BC. These reveal a mosaic of named peoples (Trinovantes, Silures, Cornovii, Selgovae, etc), but there is little sign such groups had any sense of collective identity any more than the islanders of AD 1000 all considered themselves 'Britons'."
