Thats great thanks! I am attempting to track all descendants of Samuel Chappuzeau (1625-1701), and your family are amongst them

Emily Sarah Sievers was the sister of my g-g-grandmother Ronella Aldina Emma Garner, nee Sievers.
Several other members of the family ended up in Australia, including Edward Johnstone Sievers, who was Land Valuer General of New South Wales, and was responsible for purchasing the land on which Sydney Harbour stands. Edward was a grandson of John William, one of Sarah's brothers.

Pavane mentions E J SIEVERS ... here is his Obituary from the Sydney Morning Herald 16 July 1932  https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16903557

The V-General found the funds for the purchase of foreshore frontages from Pyrmont to Dawes Point, including The Rocks

Sadly, his son Nowell Johnstone Sievers, a brilliant scholar, was killed in WWI, shortly after he had started work for the Times

I am also in touch with Peter Bates in Australia, grandson of Edward Sievers' brother Ernest

It seems an amazing coincidence that E.J.Sievers's direct ancestor Samuel Chappuzeau wrote, in 1669, a play called "Les eaux de Pirmont", or "The waters of Pirmont" (a place in Germany).
