SIVES - East Lothian - 1650/1890

Hi Kevin

A Scottish & British Welcome to Rootschat no2 

Good to see another posting on Rootschat for the Sives family from a Sives, with so much info 8)thanks,unfortunately can make no connection at the moment..

I have Sives info from East Lothian which after checking includes very few Archibalds.I will list what there is...

1.James Sivess and Mary Congalton had a son Archilbald Sivess b 8 Nov 1812 Prestonkirk,most possible parents for your Archilbald,if birth was registered in East Lothian.
2.Charles Sives and Susan Campbell had a son Archibald 18 Jan 1813 Dirleton,possible
3.John Sives and Helen Gourlay had a son Archibald b13 Sep 1791 Dirleton,not possible.

that is it no more Archibalds and no Frederick or Frederick Archilbald Sives listed for East Lothian.

Hope above has been helpful


must mention your website which was a big help to me

Hi Fiona.  Thank you so much for the information.  The census records I've viewed for Archibald list his place of birth as Prestonkirk, so more than likely the James & Mary you list are indeed his parents. 

Here in America, Sives is a fairly rare last name - as a matter of fact, every Sives that I've ever spoken with on the Internet descends from Archibald's son James Arthur Sives, who emigrated around 1870, settling in Pennsylvania, raising a family, and eventually winding up in California (with a new wife), where he died in 1918.

Thank you again.

Hi Neil

Welcome to Rootschat

I have checked through Sives info that I have collated but unfortunately I have nothing on William Sives/Mary Sutherland.
If you download William Sives death record 1955 from Scotlands People that should give you his parents names.

Neil,

It's your lucky day today. I have the details of your grandfather's death certificate, but only because they are on the same register page as a possible Cowe relative. He died February 20th 1955 at Belhaven Hospital and was 80 years old. His parents are listed as William Sives, ploughman (deceased) and Jane Sives m.s. [maiden surname] Foggo (also deceased).

Hopefully Fiona or others have details of William and Jane.
