Hi,
The book you need to read is called "With Disastrous Consequences... London Disasters 1830-1917" by Wendy Neal. It has 27 pages on the Silvertown Blast, and a list of the casualties, including Norman gardener age 5.

We are about a third of the way through now adding the civilian casualties to the Imperial War Museum's Lives of the First World War site.  They are in a community (https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/lifestory/7663908#communities)
