Silver

Joze Silva wed 1846 to Selina Serong and both appear to be still alive in 1888

Working backwards after finding the death entry for Augustianna Fithall, died aged 73 in 1923, daughter of Joseph DeSilva and unknown Selina, and the wedding entry of Augustinia Silver 1868 where her birthplace is shown as Sydney and date about 1850, I found the following items which appear useful.
There were no familiar entries using the surname DeSilva. Silva and Silver were more friendly.
Obtaining the appropriate certificates would show if my deductions are accurate.
