The surname Sydes was first found in Fife, Angus, Perth and Moray. The family held a family seat in Fife from about the 12th century, having being connected also to the Abbey of Dunfermline. The family were also vassals to the Earls of Fife. One of the first entries for the family was "Richard de Sudy [who] witnessed the homage of Duncan, Earl of Fife, to the Abbot of Dunfermline, 1316." 1
During the 17th century and the religious problems in Scotland, a branch of the family migrated south into England to Bures St. Mary, or Mount Bures which both straddle the Suffolk, Essex border. It was here that the family recorded their coat of arms.
