Yes, the German connection is interesting. Sarah's mother Elizabeth Jane was the daughter of a publican, John Thies who was born in Germany. I have found him in 1851 - a beer house keeper living with a wife and 4 children in Hammersmith. As well being canal boatmen (and before that River Thames watermen going back to at least 1703) the Sivers were also publicans at Northolt. This is where Henry Sivers and Elizabeth married in 1863. Elizabeth was by this time a widow and was married under the name of Bowyer. The Bowyers were also canal boatmen.
Henry Sivers, your gt grandfather, died in 1907 and Elizabeth is in an institution in Swindon on the 1911 census.
I write a newsletter each year for the extended Sivers family and have written about your family in a couple of issues. I am happy to send you these and other information - can you let me have your email address please?

Hi I thought it was about time I tried to confirm some family anecdotes especially after a distant relative in Canada asked for inf. So please, anything you have will be appreciated. One of Sarah's children,my Aunt Harriet was sent to Grandparents in Germany where she only had chickens to play with. One of my grandmothers-great grandmothers was born on a narrow boat from Hamburg, the family fortune was lost in a card game with the only thing left a canal wharf with the family name. I vaguely remember visiting Sarah Sivers about 1943 when she was living with her daughter Ivy in Slough. I'll send you acces to my tree soon but its only just started. Again many thanks.,

Hi
Sarah Elizabeth Sivers was the daughter of Henry Richard Sivers and Elizabeth Jane Bowyer. Henry was a brother of my great grandfather William Sivers.
The family were boatmen on the Grand Union Canal although Henry was a grocer Norwood in later life.
I have researched the Sivers family thoroughly and also run the Sivers One Name Study at the Guild of One Name Studies.
I know thet George collins asnd Sarah Elizabeth moved to Swindon and raised a family there.
I can certainly fill you in on the Sivers family if you would like to get in touch.

Sivers Family - Middlesex area

cvendt1 — 2012-03-02 02:30:28Z

Hi there

I am researching the Sivers family from here in NZ.
My GG Grandparents were Jane Sivers (b. 1842) who married Joseph Kempster (b. 1841). Both their parents Richard Sivers (b. abt 1811) and Joseph Kempster are listed as Boatman on their baptism records. Perhaps you may have more info on the family as they seem rather elusive from this end.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Susan,

I am sure that we have the same Jacob Sivers as an ancestor, I am originally from Laceyville. I have little to no info on Jacob, would you be willing to share any info you have on him or his wife?

Jacob Sivers

SANDRACORSON74 — 2010-07-06 01:50:51Z

My grandfathers family tree stops at Jacob Sivers. He moved to Rush, PA after marrying his wife Mahalia Martin. Jacob was born in 1809 and died May 23, 1896. Family stories say that he was married in New York State and may have been from the Copperstown area in NY. Does anyone have any information on the family?

kmudpuppy — 2006-02-28 08:35:41Z

the book is about covert michigan. I just remember being told about it that it has to do with the sivers logging and developing covert. I don't know if it is Gilbert or Michael. I do know that there is someone in Oklahoma that had traced the Sivers(Michael) all the way back to somewhere and had gotten the coat of arms and everything of course I was a teenager when my grandmother told me about it so I don't remember a lot just that they were in Oklahoma. I am going back to Mich in June if you would like pictures of the graves for Michael and Vesta

Re: michael henry siver vesta corwin

B_E_Montgomery — 2005-05-22 04:12:41Z

Hi Kim

As far as I have been told noone has found any new info. You are of Gilbert's line right? I am from George's line along with most of the others who are searching this family. We have located Michael and Vesta in the 1870 and 1880 census.

Do you remember how long ago you found/saw this book and was it a history of town or county, or state?

Re: Albin Sivers

2002-08-28 03:08:36Z

My grandmothers father was Albin Sivers and I believe he died when she was 6 yrs. old. She kept her mothers maiden name of Schroeder (Ottelie). My grandma (Dorothy) grew up in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, and then moved to Marshfield, Wisconsin and married John Neumann. I'm not sure where Albin originally came from, but I do think he lived in Marshfield until his death.

Re: ??????

I have relatives in Indiana, but not with the last name of Sivers. My Indiana relatives are Boehle.

Probably doesn't help you.

Re: Nelson Claria Sivers

2002-04-16 08:54:15Z

I highly doubt that there is any relation, but I think was named after my great grandfather (first name). I was raised in Elmira NY. I don't know much about my family history. My mother's name is Lelah Mae Sivers. From what I understand, I am 1/4 Cherokee, my mother was 1/2 (each of her parents were 1/2). Elmira is only 8 miles from the NY/PA border, so there is a chance that that side of my family may have been from PA. I am also looking for information about my grandpaernts or older relatives. Unfortunately I don't have many details, and would have to contact my mother to see how much she knows. Any info you may have would be appreciated. Feel free to contact me via e-mail (nsivers1@nycap.rr.com). It may take me several days if not weeks to respond (I'm currently a graduate student at SUNY Albany), so please don't be offended if it takes a while.

This name does not show up in my Sivers line. Can you give us more information? Where did your grandmother grow up?

Does anyone have any information on Albin Sivers? He was my grandmothers father. Thanks.

I am doing a one name study on SIVERS which I have registered with the Guild of One - Name Studies in England.Iam interested in making contact with anyone interested in the surname and especially those whose roots are in England, where I have done quite a bit of research.

Reply to Scott Sivers

CColbourne7361 — 2001-07-01 22:50:59Z

Hello Scott

I was interested to read that your family may possibly have roots in England.
I have collected all the bmd registrations from 1837 - to the present day. I had a check to see whether there was a Kenneth Sivers- in case Kenneth may be a family name - but there are no entries with that name. Let me know if you find any more information. There were certainly Sivers from the different branches of the Sivers family in England who emigrated to the U.S.

Best wishes

Susan - I had an e-mail a couple of years ago from Hank Beecher. He was also researching Jacob Siver. As far as I know Jacob did not come from England.
Hank's e-mail address was Hwb@epix.net
I hope you manage to get in touch with him.

I have a great deal of information about the John Sivers and Mary Ann (Leader) Sivers family if anyone wants to contact me. John and Mary Ann emigrated from Lincolnshire,England via Liverpool New Orleans to Glenwood, Iowa in 1849.

dgn4roots — 2001-06-29 17:52:51Z

Jacob Sivers does not ring a bell, as the first ancestor of my line to emigrate was John Sivers in 1949. However, I will forward this message on to a fellow Sivers researcher in England. Perhaps it's her line.
