KILVERT - CILVERT Connection ???
The earliest Cilvert I can find is a Mr. Cilvert, who is mentioned in the House of Commons Journal Vol.1. 30.4.1621.
It is interesting to note that in 1621, Richard Kilvert was involved with the impeachment of Sir John Bennet(Judge of the Court) and this is outlined in this Kilvert genforum No.219. - "Kilverts of Distinction - Richard Kilvert".
The next Cilvert entery is that of George and Maria Cilvert in the 1881 Census in the UK. This happens to be George and Maria Kilvert of Ashton on Mersey, who was the son of Nicholas Kilvert(b.1822) the propietor of Kilverts Lard Co. of Manchester.
However, there did appear to be a family of Cilverts living in Andover, Hampshire, UK in the nineteeth century.
The earliest I can find is William and Diane Cilvert(nee Cook ?), who had at least two children:-
- Caroline Cilvert(b.11.6.1848 - Andover).
- Eugenie Diana Cilvert(b.24.4.1856 - Andover).
- (Possibly) William Cilvert(b.1852 - Andover) (m) Emily(b.1846).
- (Possibly)Jonathon Cilvert(b.1855 - Andover).
Other details are:-
- Mary Ann Cilvert(b.Sep.Q. 1846 - Andover).

A search of the "net" has found the following living Cilverts.
Richard Cilvert - Chelmsford.
Keith Cilvert - folk singer Essex.
Karen Cilvert - studied Dept. of Life Sciences at APU in Cambridge UK.
Steve Cilvert - London.
Although this name exists in Germany, it didn't seem to appear in England until the 19th Century. Does the family have its roots in Germany or is it an off-shoot of a Kilvert Branch ????
