Hello, I am currently researching my new found maternal great grandfather, John Siviter (1858-1902). He was born in Birmingham and died in Aston Manor, Warwickshire He was a 100+ mystery in my family and with the use of my DNA I have finally filled the empty space on my tree.

John was a toolmaker and died of TB, like I am sure so many of them in those days with no breathing protection

His parents were James Siviter (blacksmith) and Eliza Wynn. He had 3 siblings that I know of: Sarah Ann (1855), Lizzie (1866) and James Henry Loveridge (1874)

John married Mary Ann Standley and they had 5 children:

James Henry (1879-1928)
Albert John (1880-1930)
Lily (1884-1954)
Ethel (1885-1956)
Oliver (1887-1918)

Would love to connect to anyone that has information about this family or details of the Blackcountry they could share

Thank you
