Biography
Alexander Robert Machray Sives was born in Bangour Hospital by Dechmont in West Lothian, Scotland, United Kingdom. He is the third child of Alexander Watt Sives (1942-) and Mairi Brown Smith (1948-).
The Paternal (Sives) family can be traced back to East Lothian in the 1650's, whilst the Watt line dates to around 1715.
The Maternal line comes from the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Highlands and traces back to the Grant Family possibly earlier than the 16th Century.
Alexander married Amanda Jane Mayberry (1972-2024), on the 21st September 2007 and they had two girls together with an additional 5 children between them.
Amanda died from Cervical Cancer on the 12th February 2024.

As you go farther back in your tree, it is a good idea to do a search first to see if you have a match already created on Wiki Tree before creating a new profile. And keep in mind, if you do find a match, odds are the manager is also related to that person and probably you!
There is a great question to review on G2G regarding duplicate profiles and merges. See: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/51703/behind-merges-identifying-lowest-numbered-profile-correct
A great place to ask specific question is on G2G. Under My Wiki Tree (on of the links at top right) select G2G PROFILE. You can browse/ask/answer questions. You can also "tag" them by topic. I am a mentor, so let me know if you have any questions! Nae
Just checking in with a few quick tips:
Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".
Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
Do you have any questions I can help with?
