THE SMITHWICK FAMILY HISTORY FROM AUSTRALIA

THE SMITHWICK FAMILY HISTORY FROM AUSTRALIA

--------------- UPDATE 27 1 2008 ---------------

Please check dates for minor or major changes to format.

Please note that my E.mail address is now alan.smithwick@optusnet.com.au

As the main title suggests, with these pages of information we will try to put together the histories and lineage of the different SMITHWICK family groups in Australia.

I Alan Smithwick has attempted to put together this family tree group from scourses supplied such as Bourke's Irish Family Records and William Smithwick from Tipperary as supplied through www.smithwickfamily.org and to others to whom I am very grateful with and much thanks to those concerned

As this Smithwick family tree site is set up with only birth death and marriage dates only, I do not think the privacy rules need to apply here because without any other type of information linked to your name how many know who you are

Also I have deliberatly left out any of people's Titles and only the references listed above have extra information in them and the only people who know who you are, are mainly family members and some family researchers

In some areas of this information there have been some marriages between couisins, brothers marrying sisters from another family and some other odd relationships and that is why there is a doubling up of information

In an effort to locate in which Smithwick Family group the stray Smithwicks that I have on this family tree site and those researchers that have stray Smithwicks within their own records and family trees.

I have decided to include all of the Smithwick family groups that are on www.smithwickfamily.org, so that I maybe able to show how we may fit in and link the Smithwick family groups together

The main problem facing researchers of the SMITHWICKS in Ireland is that there were about 300 Smithwicks in and about the Tipperary area and other counties from about 1760 or earlier through to about 1830 or thereabouts

Irish Catholic Records started from about 1815 and the Protestant Irish Records started possibly before the 1700’s

Because of changing religions in Ireland and other problems a lot of documentation has been lost and this makes it very frustrating trying to link families together under these circumstances

Because there is a lack of clear evidence linking some Smithwick family groups together I will list the family groups in the order I think they should be

Maybe there might be an assumption by some researchers that their family group is linked differently to what I am providing and I will acknowledge that and also because

of this extra information here we may locate more Smithwicks and their descendants and help them and us to show how we could all link together and until someone can acquire definite certification I will leave this documentation as is

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I (Alan Smithwick) as the compiler of the Smithwick family tree information is going to put in assumed dates like this example Smithwick 1850 b and if known Smithwick b 1850 and it is an effort to maybe obtain the correct dates and if the dates are close enough in years then it is only a coincidence and I could then make good use of the new information about the family group's thank you

To make it easier for search engines to find names I am listing surnames from each family group below here before the main history begins

---------- SMITHWICK FAMILY HISTORY ----------

---- By Anthony John Arthur ----

-------- ORIGINS OF THE FAMILY NAME --------

The origins of the name Smithwick are uncertain. It is spelled variously as Smethwick and Smithwick with numerous other variations, eg.Smythwick.

One source ( i ) explains the origins of the name Smethwick as (1) ''dweller at the village on the ''SMEETH '' or PLAIN (old English word ''wick'' = dwelling) (2) dweller at the SMITH'S PLACE and for the name Smithwick the latter meaning only.

It goes on to mention that the Staffordshire village of Smethwick was Smedewick and which the Doomsday Book says, ''lies on a plain at the foot of the Rowley Hills''. I assume that this is the Smethwick, which is now a suburb of Greater Manchester.

This is a small correction to the statement above as supplied by an obsevrant reader

The Smethwick at the foot of Rowley Hills is actually Smethwick in the West Midlands near to Birmingham. Rowley Hills is the area now know as Rowley Regis

Another source (ii) cites two persons named Smithwick from the fourteenth century mentioned in the Sussex Subsidy Rolls. Adam de Smithwyk, 1327 and Roger de Smythewyck and suggests that the name derives from a lost village of Smithwick in Southover.(Sussex) or from Smethwick in Cheshire.

Mr. W A Smithwick of Smithwick's Brewery, Kilkenny, Eire, stated in an introduction to a booklet about the brewery (iii).''

We are Danish in origin and the first reference I know in England was Ralph de Smithwick who was Rector of Betely, Norfolk, about 1321. Our family came from Hertfordshire probably in Elizabethan times and settled in Wexford,'' [p.9].

In an article (iv) Mr. Walter Smithwick suggests that,'' the name Smithwick was in Ireland, I think since the Anglo Norman invasion, also with its Gallicised form of Smidig, also Smedig and Smist and Smisteach and was quite familiar to Kilkenny up to the end of the fifteenth century. There is also a Killa Smiste and a Tobar Smiste in North Co. Kilkenny, ''[p 21].

----------------- SMITHWICKS IN HISTORY

Peter Smithwick, son of the above Walter, in a letter written in October 1977 (v) states that, ''My family originated in England and came originally from Cheshire. Sometime in the early 16 th century, having evidently been merchants in the City of London, they settled down at Abbotslangley [sic] in Hartfordshire [sic] where Robert Smithwick was Lord of the Manor.''

George Ormerod in his early nineteenth century, ''History of Cheshire'', (vi) provides a pedigree of the family of Smethwick of Smethwick [p.53] derived from '' Sir F Leicester's Tabley MSS. with additions from Harl. MSS 1533’’ and with a description of the hamlet and of Smethwick Hall as it was at the time.(See footnote).

This pedigree extends from sometime in the twelfth century to 1650. It is also available in the Visitations of Cheshire of 1580 (vii) and 1613 (viii).

It appears from Ormerod's pedigree that William Smithwick of Smethwick who died in June 1649 without heirs and may have been the last of that family to reside in Cheshire.

It is stated that he entailed his estate to Thomas Smithwick, a descendent of his grandfather's brother who was, in 1637, living near the church of St. Dunston in the East in what is now The Strand, London.

At the same time a John Smethwicke was publishing books ''at his shop in Saint Dunstanes Church-yard'', one example held in the Library of the University of Melbourne being ''The Commonwealth of England complied by Sir Thomas Smith and published in 1663. Similarly Francis Smithwick was librarian at Westminster Abbey from 1661 to 1687/8.

Of interest to the Smithwicks of this branch is that the names William and Thomas are the most common and almost the only name used by the males of the family from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century.

William and Thomas were common names amongst the nineteenth century Smithwicks and from our branch also.

The pedigree of the Kilkenny Smithwicks as printed in Burke's Irish Family Records (ix) is not obviously connected to the Cheshire family just described, but may be. The names Robert, Thomas and William are common to both but as I just described they were also common several hundred years later. However the Robert of Abbots Langley referred to as his ancestor, by Mr. Peter Smithwick is there.

----------------------------SUMMARY

The Smithwick family seems to be of English origin and to have been recorded from about the twelfth century in both Sussex and Cheshire.

The main concentration of the family would have been in Cheshire, on the available evidence. About the 17 th century the main concentration of the family seems to have been London. Any other evidence that I have been able to trace does not support the speculations of Mr. Walter Smithwick about Danish origins and Gaelic name forms.

There are no provable connections that I have been able to trace between our branch of the family and any of those listed above.

Our history begins at about 1780 or whenever we guess when Peter Smithwick, the father of William Smithwick, the common ancestor of most of the Smithwicks now in Victoria, was born. William himself was born in either 1799 or 1800.

-------------------------- IRISH HISTORY

---------------------------17TH CENTURY

The Smithwicks seem to have arrived in Ireland around 1627, the first recorded arrival being that of Robert and his wife Dorothie (Dimmock) and their seven children, (ix). The Dorothy cited by Edward Mac Lysaght, (x) p.139 as evidence of the arrival of the Smithwicks in Ireland has the same date of death, 1642, as the youngest daughter of Robert.

Her will was proven in the Cork Diocesan Court in that year. Robert born in 1568 was the eldest son of Robert Lord of the Manors of Sarat and the Hyde and he lived in Abbots Langley, Hert . Just outside Watford northwest of London.

The eldest son of Robert (junior) was the first Smithwick to feature prominently in Irish history. He was Lt. Col. Henry Smithwick, a member of Cromwell's army. According to Mac Lysaght,'' he obtained an extensive estate in the barony of Duhallow. Co. Cork, under the Cromwellian settlement. '' (x)

His place of residence is named in Burke and another document as the town of Shandrome or Shandrum Co. Cork. (xi).

He goes on to relate that,'' the census of 1659 shows Col. Henry to be still in active command of his regiment, stationed at the time at Drogheda.'' (x). Further,'' that in the same document and also in the lists of poll money commissioners (1660-1661) we find a Henry Smithwick in Co. Carlow, while in 1665 he and a son, another Henry, are parties to a transaction relating to land in which they had an existing interest.''

In the Calendar of State Papers relating to Ireland (xi) there are documents which tell that Col. Henry's company was handed to another (p.128) and also a copy of a pardon granted.

Col Henry had two sons the eldest also Henry referred to above and the younger William of Ardaragh Castle Castlecomer in Co Kilkenny He was also a Justice of the Peace, the High Sheriff 1691, and a Colonel in the army and a Freeman of Waterford. He had two daughters.

The eldest son Henry was in the army, in Lord Lisburne's Regiment of Foot and later Captain in Colonel Richard Coot's Regiment of Foot. (ix) In 1673 and 1678 he was appointed a commissioner to carry out the act providing for the disarming of Catholics.

He had one son only, John who was born in 1690.

At the end of the seventeenth century there are only records of this branch of the Smithwick family in Ireland.

Of the four sons of Robert the original settler, there is only the information about Henry related here. John died at age ten in 1616.

It is not known whether Robert born in 1608 or William born in April 1611, (ix) settled in Ireland with their family and had descendents there, although Mr. Peter Smithwick does state that Robert. ''left Abbots Langley [sic] with all his family.'' (v)

In an introduction to a pamphlet entitled, ''Introducing Smithwicks'' (xii) by W. A. Smithwick it is stated.'' Our family, settled in Wexford where all but one were killed in the rising of 1641 and he escaping got to Tipperary and thence after one of his descendents came to Kilkenny about 1680.'' p.9.

---------------------------18TH CENTURY

John at the age of 20 in 1710 came to Kilkenny and founded St Francis Brewery according to an advertising brochure that reproduces the original title deed to the land on which the brewery is situated. (xii) p. 11 and 12.

John married first Jane Dunphy in 1719 but she died on November 10 1725 (ix) and is buried with their five sons in St Canice's Cathedral Kilkenny (4) p.21 and secondly Mary Grace of Ladybush Co. Kilkenny, by whom he had three sons, two of whom died unmarried. Edmund was a clergyman and Michael died in 1776 at the age of 18, leaving the first son Peter, to carry on the brewing business.

His eldest son John was the only one of his three children to marry. He (John) was born in 1763 and married Catherine Butler in 1785.

All of his six sons were born in the 19 th century except the first who died as an infant. They are discussed in the section on the 19 th century.

By 1715 there are records of other Smithwick families in Ireland. William Smithwick was recorded in that year as Justice of the Peace (ix) p. 1031, (x) p. 139 and again in 1727 (x). Burke suggests that William was probably the father of John of Abbey Athassel, Co. Tipperary, who married and died at an advanced age in 1769. A genealogical chart of this family is provided. (x)

This family is important to the history of the Australian Smithwicks in that one and probably all the Smithwicks resident in New South Wales in the nineteenth century and still resident around Albury are descended from them. (Robert John Smithwick (born about 1830) the second son of William Bleasby Smithwick of Nenagh emigrated to Australia where he married Laura Vymer (Vyner). The family has many descendents in England also.

A Thomas Smithwick of Ardree, Co. Kildare [gentleman] is recorded in the Index to Prerogative Wills of Ireland 1536 to 1810 (xiii). His will was proved in 1751.

Three other Smithwicks are also listed here who do not appear to be part of the two main stream families listed in Burke and Mac Lysaght. They are John of Lilliput. Co. Limerick whose will was proved in 1801, Michael of Cork City whose will was proved in 1809 and Frances whose will was proved in 1789.

In Lucas' General Directory of 1788 (xiv) two Smithwicks are listed as resident in Cashel Tipperary . Robert a woolen draper and Peter a post-master in the county. In the province of Leinster in Waterford, John is listed as a master mariner.

------------------------ 19TH CENTURY

------------------ KILKENNY SMITHWICKS

The five sons of John Smithwick featured prominently in Kilkenny and Irish affairs in the 19 th century. Edmond the eldest, surviving son was Freeman of Kilkenny in 1826. Common Councilman 1838, Alderman 1843 , Mayor 1843-1844, 1865 and 1865, Justice of the Peace in 1846, and High Sheriff in 1852. His brothers and their children followed a similar pattern of holding local government offices in Kilkenny for most of the century. This record is set out in full in Burke's Irish Family Records, which is reproduced in Appendix (x).

According to Walter Smithwick (iv) Edmond was a great personal friend of Daniel O'Connell, who stayed with the family many times. (p.22). Both Richard and John-Francis Smithwick (the eldest son of Edmonds younger brother Daniel) were Members of Parliament for Kilkenny, Richard in 1846 and John-Francis in 1880. While the former seems to have a short and fairly undistinguished career the latter was twice returned.

He is reported (xv) to have been'' in favour of Home Rule, Denominational Education, Fixity of Tenure at Fair Rents, Amendments of the Grand Jury Laws and a stringent measure against Absenteeism,'' (p.228). During this time Edmond purchased freehold of the brewery in about 1827.At that time it was also a distillery.

---------------- TIPPERARY SMITHWICKS

The family details as recorded in Burke (ix) are reproduced in Appendix (x). This family descends from William Smithwick who is recorded as In the Common of the Peace in 1715 in Tipperary. He died in 1769.

A count of the Marriage License Bonds issued within the period 1709 and 1846 for the Church of England Diocese of Cashel and Emly, which included Tipperary, has 66 Snithwick names. This probably excluded the Catholics.

Some of these are recorded in the extracts from the registers of the Catholic parishes of Bansha and Kilmoyler and also that of Boherlahane and Dualla.

In Bansha for the period 1822 to 1841 there were baptisms for the families of William Smythwick and his wife Margaret Hickey, Thomas Smithwick and his wife Mary Keating, William Smithwick and his wife Norrie Kirby, Peter Smithwick and his wife Ellen Ryan, and Michael Smithwick and Mary Hogan.

And in Bolerlahane there are William and Anastasia.

In Griffith's Primary Valuation for 1865 for the six civil parishes in Tipperary South Riding there are John, George, Alice, Peter (a number of times and also appearing in Bansha so perhaps the same Peter as appears in the baptismal registers), William, Honoria, Mary, Robert and George Smithwick.

In Leet's 1814 guide (16) there is a Thos. Smithwick at Barnlough, Tipperary. Peter and Henry in Tipperary township and another Peter in Suirville.

The numbers of persons with the name William, Peter and Michael Smithwick in one area is amazing!

In addition to William and Anastasia the great-great-great grandson of William Smithwick (died 1769), Robert John Smithwick (born about 1830) the second son of William Bleasby Smithwick of Nenagh, emigrated to Australia where he married Laura Vyner

-------------------- OTHER SMITHWICKS

Other Smithwicks whose relationship to the families recorded here is not known are mentioned in the '' Mormon List,'' Griffith's Valuation and Leet (xvi).

-------------- THE AUSTRALIAN SMITHWICKS

There appears to be at least three and possibly four branches of the Smithwick family in Australia.

The Victorian Smithwicks most of whom appear to be the descendants of William and Anastasia Smithwick of Clonoulty, Tipperary, with a few exceptions.

Then there are the descendants of Robert John Smithwick (referred to above) who lived in the Talmalmo area near Albury. New South Wales.

There is also a group of Smithwicks resident in Sydney in the latter half of the nineteenth century at least some of whom appear to be descended from the same family as Robert John.

There is a Western Australian family descended from Smithwicks from Cork. (On a recent visit to Western Australia I came across the name Smithwick while walking in the tourist centre of Freemantle where a ??? was managing a restaurant. February 2001)

Finally there is a large number of ''strays'' who do not appear to be connected, at least I have not been able to determine how.

------------------------ THE CONVICTS

These properly belong with the ''strays'' but in an era where it is important to have a convict ancestor I have given them a section to themselves. They are also the first Smithwicks recorded as being in Australia.

I did find a record of a convict named Smithwick who was hung in N.S.W, but I have lost the reference; so another researcher will have to follow him up.

The other is Arthur Smithwick who makes the records as marrying Elenor Sullivan in Sydney on the ninth day of September 1800, by ''permission of His Excellency John Hunter Esq. Governor.'' I have been told that this phrase indicates that the parties were convicts. Arthur signed his name so may have been literate. I can find no further information about them.

------------------------ THE '' STRAYS ''

Michael and Ann Smithwick were proprietors of the Critereon Hotel Sale in the 1860s. Ann died on the 25 th of June 1867 aged about 70 and there was a coronial inquiry.

According to her death certificate, she was born in Kilkenny and her parents were James Shortal and her mother Catherine.(See pages 25 , 26 and 85 also)

Her father was a farmer. She had been married to Michael about 40 years and they had three children, Mary Ann, Catherine and John.One of her daughters had married Henry Miller and they were living with them at the time. Ann had been in Victoria about 4 years.

Mary Smithwick and her children, Margaret. Peter and Bridget

Peter Smithwick arrived in Melbourne in February 1859 on the ship the Shalimar and in the following year, in September, his mother Mary and his sister Margaret arrived on the Samaritan. On his gravestone Peter is described a native of Bansha which is a town in Tipperary, not far from Cashel.

Mary was the child of John Meehan and Margaret English. she was born between 1804 and 1806 and had married Michael Smithwick. On Margaret's death certificate her daughter gave the information that Michael was a Dairyman. From at least 1877 (when he first appears in the directories) until the death of the last member of the family, Bridget they lived at 10 High St.Carlton.

Peter died in 1876, aged only 32 of tuberculosis and was followed in 1878 by his sister Margaret and then in 1880 by Mary and then in 1884 by Bridget. None of the children married.They are all buried in the same grave at the Melbourne General Cemetery (Roman Catholic H No.63) and there is a substantial tombstone. Despite the Tipperary connection no link with William and Anastasia's family is known.

The shipping records include several ''mystery'' Smithwicks who have left no other trace. These include R. Smithwick who arrived in 1854 and Mr. Smithwick who arrived in 1859, travelling in the 1 st class cabin whose occupation was ''gentleman'' and who was ''English''.

A Mary Smithwick arrived in the Port Phillip District of New South Wales aboard the Gilmore in 1841.

Another early arrival is Elizabeth Smithwick, born in Tipperary in 1825 who married John Ryan in Geelong in 1843 and had 11 children (all born in Richmond).

Three other Smithwick women whose relationship to ''our'' Smithwicks is not known were Catherine Smithwick who married James Crook in 1859 in Taraville and had three children. Annie Maria who married John Spring in 1867 in Geelong; and Elizabeth who married Hugh Mc Menenim in 1871 at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Hawthorn.

Both the latter were daughters of Michael Smithwick and Elizabeth Hogan and both stated that they were born in County Tipperary, Elizabeth in Portroe near Nenagh in the north- west. As they lived at one time near Nenagh they may have some connection with the family of William Bleasby Smithwick who also came from that area.

Of the mystery men there is Michael who died aged 62 in 1874 with no record of his parent's names and another Michael who died in West Melbourne in 1887 aged 72 whose father was Henry Smithwick and mother Ann Hogan

---- THE SYDNEY AND ALBURY SMITHWICKS

Apart from the ''convicts'' described above there were several other Smithwicks who died in Sydney prior to 1863.

These were Charles Smithwick (an entry for 1832) and Susanna Smitherick who died in 1862.

An Agnes Smithwick married John Stone in 1844, and an Ellen Smithwick married William Hawkins in 1846.

The great-great-great grandson of William Smithwick (died 1769), Robert John Smithwick (born about 1830) the second son of William Bleasby Smithwick of Nenagh, emmigrated to Australia where he married Laura Vyner in Sydney.

They had at least three sons and two daughters. One of the sons Frederick Wheler Vyner Smithwick became a grazier in the Talmalmo area, near Albury. He had a son and daughter. He died in 1941 aged 73. One of his daughters Laura M.M. lived for some years at Mt. Martha in Victoria where she died in 1952.

Another family who also appears to have been related to the Tipperary Smithwicks (on the basis of the similarity of the unusual name Gabbott or Gabbett which entered the Smithwick line in the mid 18 th century) was that of Peter Gabbot Smithwick and his wife Martha Aulbury.

They had six children in Sydney between 1867 and 1879. The birth certificate of the last child born to them, in 1879, records that Peter was born in Tipperary, was an Upholsterer and lived in Darlinghurst.

There is also Thomas Robert Smithwick and his wife Margaret Norwood who married in 1873 and had four children between 1875 and 1880.

There are also several Peter Smithwicks, one married to Elizabeth and another married to Susan and a William Smithwick married to Rachel whose daughter Martha died in 1879.

---- THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SMITHWICKS

Mrs. Margaret Austin is the daughter of Laurence Smithwick who emmigrated to Western Australia.

He was born in Mallow, County Cork in August 1891, the second son of the four children of Thomas Smithwick and Margaret Mc Carthy who were married in Mallow in 1889, both of full age. Thomas' father was Laurence.

WILLIAM AND ANASTASIA SMITHWICK AND FAMILY

As far as I can ascertain all of the Smithwicks living in Victoria (1988) are descended from William and Anastasia Smithwick.

The only information we have about William's parents is that found on his Victorian death certificate, where it is recorded that his father's name was Peter and that he was by trade a brewer and that his mother's name was Mary Ann, maiden name Whelan.

The certificate also states that William was aged 72 when he died on 10 August 1872, so he was born in 1799 or 1800. His place of birth is given as Tipperary.His tombstone corroborates this with both he and Anastasia being described on their tombstones as ''natives of Clonoulty Co Tipp.''
