Some birth registrations

SILVA, MARIA       SARTOR 
GRO Reference: 1896  M Quarter in WANDSWORTH  Volume 01D  Page 764

SILVA, MARY  GRACE ELIZABETH    SARTORI 
GRO Reference: 1897  J Quarter in WANDSWORTH  Volume 01D  Page 710

Maria died

Deaths Mar 1896   
Silva    Maria    0    Wandsworth    1d   421

SILVA, CATHERINE  MARIA JOHANNA    SARTORI 
GRO Reference: 1901  D Quarter in WANDSWORTH  Volume 01D  Page 769

SILVA, JOSEPH  MARK     SARTORI 
GRO Reference: 1903  D Quarter in WANDSWORTH  Volume 01D  Page 750

For some reason Joseph is not on the 1911

SILVA, FIORENZO       SARTORI 
GRO Reference: 1905  M Quarter in WANDSWORTH  Volume 01D  Page 763

SILVA, LOUIS       SARTORI 
GRO Reference: 1906  J Quarter in WANDSWORTH  Volume 01D  Page 737

The 1911 indicates nine children born, five still living.  I've only been able to find six children.  Perhaps the other three were born in Italy and died there?

This is amazing .. Thankyou so much
I’m looking for any information,
Giuseppe & adelia silva born 1866
Can I find out who there parents are ? Or as it’s in Italy not possible ?
My grandad was Louis silva born 1906 on the census it says his name is Luigi which is something I didn’t know
He married Dorothy collims (1904 )
In 1938 I think
And they had 2 sons Louis silva and my dad victor m Silva ( 1941)
I m trying to find as much information as possible as my dad can’t remember and he loved hearing about the things i found on the 1911 census

Not sure why Mary is put down as born in Italy.  I put her birth registration details at Reply #4.

I suspect that the parents married in Italy as the 1891 census I found for Guiseppe had him as married but not with his wife.

There are a number of websites which can assist with Italian genealogy, you could try Family Search or Ancestry for starters.  There is also https://anglo-italianfhs.org.uk/ which may give you some information.

Just google Italian family history and explore what comes up.
