I have found a passenger list for the "Orontes" in February 1915 bound for Brisbane. On the list were Harold Silvia, 24, an Electrician, and wife Emily 23.

Harold Silvia married Emily Garrod Mar 1915 Lambeth 1d 424

Looks as though she was with son, Harold J R Silvia when she died.

There is this for Harold Jr. possibly, [Sr. looks to be in Oz or NZ]..

London E/R 1946
Harold J R Silvia
Ward or Division/Constituency: Clapham, Putney and Streatham
County or Borough: Wandsworth
[71 Bromfelde Road]
Says Service Register [X] at top of page so was possibly a serviceman..

Emily is at the Bromfelde Address in 1945 [no Harold], so maybe 2x registers, one for service people in the war years, security?

Geoff

EDIT: Just found Harold at that address in 1945, listed as a service register. In some records he looks to change his names/initials around.

Thanks Emeltee.

Married in England in 1915 and then went to Australia where two sons were born.

Then divorced and Harold senior ended up in New Zealand.

Emily is said to have returned to England with her two sons "before WWII" so was hoping to find her in 1939.

Thanks Val.

The NZ Police Gaz bit is new to me. Actually a native of Sydney. Around 1914 he was an electrician.

Interesting that the name is SILVA from Western Islands = Azores and in Australia one branch of the family used SILVIA.

Birth 3420/1890 SILVIA HAROLD R - WILLIAM J - JANE - SYDNEY * 22 Nov

I know it's confusing - Not looking at military one, the one above has wife Emily looking for him in 1927 and front page is account from a hotel owner who knew him... the descriptions match police gazette... found a few for him on paperspast for drunkenness too. reckon old Harold was good at telling porkies....

Thanks Val.

That date of 1927 puts Emily in England.

I've not looked in NZ very much for details on him.

The 1939 Register post reminded me I had a possible look up.
