Subject: RE: BS: SHIVER surname in the UK? Help please..
I do qualify to answer, because I was English for the first half of my life. Never knew a Shivers, though.
Chivers, Scriveners, yes, but no-one in the Auckland NZ phone book of exactly that spelling. Chivers rhymes with shivers (trembles), by the way, and not some-one who harvests chives.

All the other names starting with Shi.. look oriental.
