His grandfather Julius had been customs master in Alexandria between 1871 and 1883, and his great-great-grandfather Brutus had fought in the Austral War.
On 7 April 1916, Desiderious Silkvest married Augustina Parker (born on 28 September 1897) daughter of Samuel Augustus Parker(1871–1969), an Scottopian Exponential professor of physics and Imperial ambassador to Greater Nortend, and Maria Brightstone (1873–1959). They had seven children: Maria Cristina (1919), Julius Augustus (1921), Flavius Samuel (1923), Augustina Lucretia (1924), Petrus Franciscus (1926), Marcus Marius (1931) and Rufus Maximus (1933). Two of these, Marcus Marius and Rufus Maximus, joined the Imperial Exponential Navy.
