1 Jan 1590 Jahr - sievewright

Beschreibung:

An early occupational term not found in the OED which has sieve-maker. Nevertheless, in 1301 <i>Laurence Syffewrythe</i> of Farndale was one of four scattered North Riding taxpayers with the same by-name (YRS212/48), so the craft may then have been regionally important. In 1590 John Beley of Beverley was a <i>syve maker</i> (YRS22/11). There was a craft of sievewrights in Edinburgh, certainly from the early 1500s, and the surname survives in Scotland (Black).
