Wow i just found another addition to my search Wiki Silva aka Sylva is the younger brother to Basil Sylva Serial NO: 802627. And from the date of this death he died on his birthday 26-Mar-1917. May you rest in peace......

Son of I. Sylva and Hana Panere Sylva, of Te Hapua, husband of Kate Sylva, of Pukekohe. Died of wounds.

Kiaora Monique,This is my whanau too! My Great grandmother, Mere Hiriwa, was Wiki's sister. She married Wi Rawhiti from the Taranaki I think. Do you have any more info on the Silva's? I'm trying to reconnect to our roots too :) My email is [email protected]. Nga mihi,Aja 

Vanessa Hi my grandmother was Kate Sylva and was married to Wiki Sylva Who I think was the one killed in action in Egypt. She had 1 child to him Ben. She then married his brother Robbie Sylva and had 6 children to him. My grandmothers sister was Mary Sylva who was married to Uncle Basil Sylva.

Kia-ora Silva whanau,Wiki and Basil and there wives Kate and Mary Rogers lived in Lake Tangonge Pukepoto at the back of the Kaitaia Timber Mill in 1940 where I was also raised as a child. A Gov't report I have, writtin in 1941 describing their house and children. Contact me if you want a [email protected] Wiki child Ben was there, Glass children Hinemoa, Percy and Punaute were there too. Nga mihi - Bernie
