| Notes |
- Some ancestry trees have him born in Suffolk 14 Nov 1897 but on 1911 Scotland census he is staying with his grandmother and his birthplace is given as Grenada, West Indies which fits with the fact that his parents were missionaries there. The 1911 census for his parents reveals that George's three siblings were dead. There is only a record for his sister Loveday born and died within hours in Scotland. Presumably the two others passed away in Grenada.
In October 1928, his wife Nora and their nine-month old son Ian were on board the ship Ranchi that sailed from London to Bombay. Presumably this was to join George who was stationed in India with the 2nd Lancers.
There is a stone in the Westruther Churchyard which reads: "In loving memory of the Rev David SILVER MA for 18 years Parish Minister of Westruther died 30 Nov 1921 and of his wife Georgina died 1941 buried in Edinburgh And their son George James 2nd Lancers Indian Army died 1937 buried in Melton, Suffolk"
