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.

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.''

According to the information provided by the Genealogical Office in Dublin (xvii) and taken from records of the Catholic Parish of Boherlahane and Dualla they were living in the townlands (sub-division of a parish) of Kilbreedy and Camus (which are in fact adjacent) in the period 1834 to 1841 where the baptisms of some of their children are recorded.

These townlands are close to Clonoulty and near to Cashel the main town in the area.

On a visit to Ireland (1985) I was unable to find any tombstones of Smithwicks in the graveyards of Clonoulty or Boherlahane.

Nor in the neighbouring towns of Cashel or Holy Cross, though it must be said that this was not a scientific investigation nor after a consultation with the registers of the cemeteries but by walking up and down the rows of graves and peering through the long grass.

(On a visit to Eire in 1974 I was shown a graveyard in Ballyslaten in the parish of New Inn, not far from Cashel, where there were a number of graves including that of the mother of a Mr. Hogan (whose mother had been born a Smithwick).

Anastasia according to her death certificate was 67 when she died 26 th June 1870 and so must have been born in either 1802 or 1803, again in Tipperary.

Her father was Christopher Bayhen, a gardener by occupation and her mother was Ann Dee. They were both still alive in 1834 when they were sponsors, on July 20 th at the baptism of their grand daughter Mary.

The Irish Genealogical Office searched the Catholic parish registers for Clonoulty for the period 1804 (the first year available) to 1810 but found no record either of William's baptism or of their marriage for the period 1816 to 1826.

Many of William Smithwicks family were involved in the beer trade, from his father who was a brewer to several of his sons who followed in his trade of cooper to breweries.

In fact some of his descendents continued as coopers in to the 1950's and one of his descendents was working for Melbourne's main brewery in the late 1960's (Albert William Smithwick).

In 1993 one of their descendants, George Smithwick, was widely known as one of the few remaining working coopers in the state and was regularly written about in the press eg Community News (Essendon) on November 2 nd

By the 1850's at least, William's family were leaving Ireland. His third son Patrick married in London in 1855 and in 1856, on 14 th October, a son, William Patrick was born to him at Devenport Road, Ratcliff, in East London.

Two other William Smithwicks arrived in Melbourne in 1857 and 1861. One was probably his sixth child, William as he is about the correct age. He arrived aboard the Carrier Dove in November 1857. If so he was the first of this branch of the family to arrive in Victoria.

Neighbours of theirs from Woodford (near Clonoulty) the O'Mearas had already arrived in 1853. William's son, Thomas, was later to marry Margaret O'Meara. In what seems like chain migration, this same son Thomas (aged 24) emigrated to Melbourne in 1863 arriving in the June of that year accompanied by a girl called ''Auty'' (probably his younger sister Anastasia, aged 20).

William and Anastasia and their two children, Christopher (aged 18) and Margaret (aged 16) arrived in Melbourne on the ship named the Lightning in September 1864, the ship having left Liverpool on the seventh of June, a voyage of 85 days.

This long period was spent on a ship 245 feet long in deck and 44 feet wide, in company with 324 other adults and this was not in cabin accommodation. It must have been an exhausting voyage for a couple in their sixties with two children.

At some stage their fifth child Mary also immigrated.

Collingwood (or East Collingwood as it was still known in 1864) was a logical place for a family such as this to come, because there were six breweries and two distilleries needing coopers to produce their barrels. The first record of them is in the 1866 Sands and Macdougal's Directory where William is recorded as cooper resident at 132 Wellington Street and then both William and Thomas at 138 Wellington Street.in the 1868 Post Office Directory.

It is interesting to note the old spelling Smythwick is used in this Directory as well as in the baptismal records referred to earlier.

With the arrival in Melbourne, in 1867, of his son Patrick with his wife Ellen and their four children, William had 7 of his 10 children living in here

Thomas was married in 1865 and his first three children were born in 1866, 1867 and 1869 into what must have been a crowded household.

William's son William was married about the same time to Bridget Finnerty who died in 1868. He later married Annie Northridge. Their first son was born in 1870 just around the corner from Wellington Street in Gipps Street.

Later in the same year both Patrick and younger William moved to Port Melbourne. The younger William and his family later moved to Queensland.

William's youngest son Christopher was married in Geelong in 1868 to Mary Mungooan and their first child was born in 1870.

The youngest daughter Margaret moved to Richmond sometime before 1871 when she married George Phillips in St Ignatius Church. During this period Anastasia must have been becoming increasingly ill with the tumor of the liver that finally led to her death in 1870 after a long illness of 5 months.

William continues to appear in the directories as a working cooper until 1872 .In that year he died on Saturday 10 th August at 176 Wellington Street

His death notice appears in the Argus for Monday, August 12 th''on the 10 th inst, at his residence 176 Wellington Street Collingwood. Mr. William Smithwick, senior, aged 72. R.I.P.,'' In the Age it was noted that his ''funeral would move from his late residence''.

He is buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery in the same grave as his wife Anastasia and his son Thomas. There is a substantial though simple gravestone and a low cast iron border around the grave. It backs onto the grave of Thomas's family and supplies the headstone for that grave also. That grave adjoins that of William Smithwick who I presume is the grandson of William and Anastasia.

The tombstone reads

-----------------------------------------''Gloria in Excelsis Deo''

-----------------------------------Erected by the children in memory

------------------------------------------of their beloved parents

--------------------------------------------William Smithwick

-------------------------------------------Died August 10, 1872

-----------------------------------------------Aged 72 years

------------------------------------------------Also his wife

-------------------------------------------Anastasia Smithwick

---------------------------------------------Died June 26 1870

-----------------------------------------------Aged 65 years

-----------------------------------Natives of Clonoulty Co. Tipperary.

Of the two other daughters, Mary died in 1900 in her sixties. She was at the time living with the children of her brother Thomas.

Anastasia later assisted (in her sixties and seventies) her nephew Christopher (son of Thomas) to look after his family when his wife died young. After his death in 1914 she lived with her unmarried nieces, Bridget and Anastasia and nephew Patrick (children of Thomas) until her death in 1924.

Thomas died on 19 th May 1884 and Patrick later that same year on 15 th July. Both Christopher and Margaret died in 1929 the former on 30 th July and the latter on April 4 th.

GENERAL INFORMATION SECTION

EXTENDED NOTES ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN ANTHONY ARTHUR'S STORY

As a follow up to Anthony John Arthur's story above and with some extra dates off family lists on this family tree website and some assumed dates I hope I can add a more understandable insight into the family story above

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

Mr. W. A. Smithwick ACFL 4 1906 b of Smithwicks 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) ACFL 4 Mr. Walter Smithwick 1906 b 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 ACFM 2 1930 b 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 b 1540 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 with0 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.

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 (4 th g Robert Smithwick b 1540 d 1600) 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 con-centration of the family seems to have been London.

Any other evidence that I have been able to trace does not support the speculations of ACFL 4 Mr. Walter Smithwick 1906 b 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 ACFA 1 Robert Smithwick b 1568 and his wife Dorothie (Dimmock) and their seven (eight) children, (ix).

The Dorothy or (ACFB 4 Dorothie b chris 20 2 1602 d 1642) 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 ACFA 1 Robert.

Her will was proven in the Cork Diocesan Court in that year.ACFA 1 Robert, born in 1568 was the eldest son of 4 th g Robert Smithwick 1540 b Lord of the Manors of Sarat and the Hyde and he lived in Abbots Langley, Hert. Just outside Watford northwest of London.

(See FAMILY LIST 4 to understand how these relationships work)

The eldest son of ACFA 1 Robert b 1568 (junior) was the first Smithwick to feature prominently in Irish history. He was ACFB 2 Col. Henry Smithwick b chris 1 4 1599 d 1670 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 ACFB 2 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 (ACFB 2) Henry Smithwick in Co. Carlow.while in 1665 he and a son,another ACFC 1 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 ACFB 2 Col. Henry's company was handed to another (p.128) and also a copy of a pardon granted. Col. Henry ACFB 2 had two sons , the eldest also ACFC 1 Henry referred to above and the younger ACFC 2 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 ACFZ 1 and ACFZ 2

The eldest son ACFC 1 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 d 1768. (This is the Founder of the St Francis Brewery)

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 ACFA 1 Robert the original settler, there is only the information about ACFB 2 Henry chris 1599 related here.ACFB 6 John died at age ten in 1616.

It is not known whether ACFB 7 Robert born in 1608 or ACFB 8 William born in April 1611, (ix) settled in Ireland with their family and had descendents there, although ACFM 2 Mr. Peter Smithwick does state that Robert b 1540 ''left Abbots Langley [sic] with all his family.'' (v)

In an introduction to a pamphlet entitled, ''Introducing Smithwicks'' (xii) by ACFL 4 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.

(Possibly ACFC 1 Henry Smithwick 1650 b father of John b 1690)

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

John 8 th g 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 1730 b d 1772 ACFD 1 was a clergyman and ACFD 3 Michael b 1758 died in 1776 at the age of 18 (this maybe wrong) leaving the first (second) son Peter 1730 b ACFD 2 to carry on the brewing business. Peter Smithwick's ACFD 2 eldest son John ACFE 1 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 * A was recorded in that year as Justice of the Peace (ix) p. 1031, (x) p. 139 and again in 1727 (x). Burke suggests that * A William was probably the father of ** B John (b abt 1700 d 1769) of Abbey Athassel, Co. Tipperary, who married and died at an advanced age in 1769.

See (FAMILY LIST 2) for this group. A genealogical chart of this family is provided. (x)

Robert John Smithwick (born about 1830) ABEB 1 the second son of William Bleasby Smithwick of Nenagh migrated to Australia where he married Laura Vymer (Vyner). This 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 ABAC 2 John of Lilliput. Co Limerick whose will was proved in 1801, ABAC 4 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.ABAC 3 Robert a woolen draper and ABAC 1Peter a post-master in the county. In the province of Leinster in Waterford, ABAC 2 John is listed as a master mariner.

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

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

The five sons of ACFE 1John Smithwick featured prominently in Kilkenny and Irish affairs in the 19 th century. ACFF 4 Edmond b 1800 the eldest, surviving son was Freeman of Kilkenny in 1826. Common Councilman 1838, Alderman 1843,Mayor 1843-1844, 1865 and 1866, 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 ACFL 4 Walter Smithwick (iv) Edmond was a great personal friend of Daniel O'Connell, who stayed with the family many times. (p.22).

Both ACFF 7 Richard and ACFT 2 John-Francis Smithwick (the eldest son of ACFF 4 Edmonds younger brother ACFF 8 Daniel) were Members of Parliament for Kilkenny, ACFF 7 Richard in 1846 and ACFT 2 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 ACFF 4 b 1800 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 * A William Smithwick who is recorded as In the Common of the Peace in 1715 in Tipperary. He ** B John died in 1769.

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 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 * A William Smithwick d after 1727 (** B John Smithwick died 1769), ABEB 1 Robert John Smithwick (born about 1830) the second son of ABEA 1 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, there maybe a few exceptions.

Then there are the descendants of ABEB 1 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 ABEB 1 Robert John.

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

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 '' STRAYS ''

Michael and Ann Smithwick (Shortal not Shortel) 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.

This statement is incorrect because the inquest was held at the Critereon Hotel Sale and Michael and Ann Smithwick were not the proprietors of the hotel in question

According to her death certificate, she was born in Kilkenny and her parents were James Shortal and her mother Catherine. Her father was a farmer. She had been married to Michael about 40 years and they had three children, AAUK 1 Mary Ann, AAUK 2 Catherine and AAUK 3 John. One of her daughters AAUK 2 Catherine had married Henry Miller and they were living with them at the time. Ann had been in Victoria about 4 years. (More information on the above group can be found at the end of the Smithwick group on this tree site. Page 85)

Mary Smithwick and her children Bridget, Margaret and Peter

Mary Smithwick was the child of John Meehan or (Mehan) and Margaret English, she was born between 1804 and 1806 and had married Michael Smithwick. On Margaret's (Mary's) death certificate her daughter Mary 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.

This is Mary (Mehan) Smithwick b 1806 d 1881 children Bridget b 1836 d 1884 Margaret b 1840 d 1878 Peter b 1844 d 1876.

I think this Michael b 1805 who died in West Melbourne in 1887 aged 72 (whose father was Henry Smithwick and mother Ann Hogan) is the husband of the Mary Smithwick and her children, Bridget, Margaret and Peter.

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. Peter died in 1876, aged only 32 of tuberculosis and was followed in 1878 by his sister Margaret and then in 1880 (1881) 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 AASUK 2 Catherine Smithwick who married James Crook in 1859 in Taraville and had three children. (Catherine Smithwick is Michael and Ann (Shortal) Smithwick's daughter) (See page 85)

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 ABEA 1 William Bleasby Smithwick who also came from that area.

Of the mystery men there is Michael who died aged 62 in 1874 (comes from Michael and Ann Smithwick (Shortal) listed above on page 14 but death age maybe incorrect) with no record of his parent's names. (There is more information about this Michael Smithwick on page 85).

----- 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 d 1832 and Susanna Smitherick alias now ABRA 1 Susannah Smithwick b 1795 arrived 1840 who died in 1862.(Actually died in 1885) (see page 112 where this lady fits in)

An Agnes Smithwick married John Stone in 1844, and an Ellen Smithwick married William Hawkins in 1846.There is added information pertaining to these two women on page 36

The great-great-great grandson of William Smithwick d after 1727 (John Smithwick died 1769), ABEB 1 Robert John Smithwick (born about 1830) the second (first) son of ABEA 1 William Bleasby Smithwick of Nenagh emigrated to Australia where he married Laura Vyner in Sydney.

They had at least three sons and two daughters. (See page 94)

One of the sons ABEC 2 Frederick Wheler Vymer (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 ABEC 3 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 ABRB 4 and his wife Martha Aulbury (Aulbery). (See page 112)

There is also ABRB 3 Thomas Robert Smithwick and his wife Margaret Norwood who married in 1873 and had four children between 1875 and 1880. (see page 113 for more information)

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

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

One of the Peter Smithwick's above is the ABRA 2 Peter Smithwick born 1800 died 1877 and married to an Elizabeth. Maybe another Peter Smithwick is married to a Susan (Bradshaw) Smithwick and they may be the parents of the above Peter Smithwick

The William Smithwick (married to Rachel) should be William Henry Holbury and some how changed to William Henry Aulbury and that is the way he is registered. His daughter Martha Ann Aulbury born 19 7 1849 d 21 6 1879 and was married to ABRB 4 Peter Gabbett Smithwick

See also THE PETER AND ELIZABETH GROUP after the end of FAMILY LIST 2 for more information (see page 112)

THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SMITHWICKS

Mrs. Margaret Austin 1920 b is the daughter of Laurence Smithwick who migrated to Western Australia. He was born in Mallow, County Cork in August 1891, the second son of the four children of Thomas Smithwick 1860 b and Margaret Mc Carthy who were married in Mallow in 1889, both of full age. Thomas' father was Laurence 1830 b

** 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.''

These townlands are close to Clonoulty and near to Cashel the main town in the area.

On a visit to Ireland (1985) I was unable to find any tombstones of Smithwicks in the graveyards of Clonoulty or Boherlahane.

Anastasia according to her death certificate was 67 when she died 26^th June 1870 and so must have been born in either 1802 or 1803, again in Tipperary.

Her father was Christopher Bayhen, a gardener by occupation and her mother was Ann Dee. They were both still alive in 1834, when they were sponsors, on July 20 th at the baptism of their grand daughter Mary.

To date the Irish Genealogical Office has not been able to identify where William and Anastasia were married and the date is uncertain though the information of their death certificates suggests a date sometime between 1822 and 1826. The Irish Genealogical Office searched the Catholic parish registers for Clonoulty for the period 1804 (the first year available) to 1810 but found no record either of William's baptism or of their marriage for the period 1816 to 1826.

Many of William Smithwicks family were involved in the beer trade, from his father who was a brewer to several of his sons who followed in his trade of cooper to breweries.

In fact some of his descendents continued as coopers in to the 1950's and one of his descendents was working for Melbourne's main brewery in the late 1960's AAFA 1 (Albert William Smithwick).

In 1993 one of their descendants, AAGL 2 George Smithwick, was widely known as one of the few remaining working coopers in the state and was regularly written about in the press eg Community News (Essendon) on November 2 nd.

By the 1850's at least, William's family were leaving Ireland. His third son AAAA 3 Patrick married in London in 1855 and in 1856, on 14 th October, a son, AABA 1 William Patrick was born to him at Devenport Road Ratcliff in East London.

Two other William Smithwicks arrived in Melbourne in 1857 and 1861. One was probably his sixth child, AAAA 6 William as he is about the correct age. He arrived aboard the Carrier Dove in November 1857. If so he was the first of this branch of the family to arrive in Victoria.

Neighbours of theirs from Woodford (near Clonoulty) the O'Mearas had already arrived in 1853. ** William's son, AAAA 7 Thomas, was later to marry Margaret O'Meara. In what seems like chain migration, this same son AAAA 7 Thomas (aged 24) emigrated to Melbourne in 1863 arriving in the June of that year accompanied by a girl called ''Auty'' (probably his younger sister AAAA 8 Anastasia, aged 20).

William and Anastasia and their two children, AAAA 9 Christopher (aged 18) and AAAA 10 Margaret (aged 16) arrived in Melbourne on the ship named the Lightning in September 1864, the ship having left Liverpool on the seventh of June, a voyage of 85 days.

This long period was spent on a ship 245 feet long in deck and 44 feet wide, in company with 324 other adults and this was not in cabin accommodation.

It must have been an exhausting voyage for a couple in their sixties with two children. At some stage their fifth child AAAA 5 Mary also immigrated.

The first record of them is in the 1866 Sands and Macdougal's Directory where ** William is recorded as cooper resident at 132 Wellington Street, and then both AAAA 6 William and AAAA 7 Thomas at 138 Wellington Street, in the 1868 Post Office Directory.

It is interesting to note the old spelling Smythwick is used in this Directory as well as in the baptismal records referred to earlier.

With the arrival in Melbourne, in 1867, of his son AAAA 3 Patrick with his wife Ellen and their four children, ** William had 7 of his 10 children living in Melbourne.

Thomas AAAA 7 was married in 1865 and his first three children were born in 1866.1867 and 1869 into what must have been a crowded household.

William's son AAAA 6 William was married about the same time to Bridget Finnerty who died in 1868. He later married Annie Northridge. Their first son was born in 1870 just around the corner from Wellington Street in Gipps Street.

Later in the same year both AAAA 3 Patrick and younger AAAA 6 William moved to Port Melbourne. The younger AAAA 6 William and his family later moved to Queensland.

William's youngest son AAAA 9 Christopher was married in Geelong in 1868 to Mary Mungovan (not Mungooan) and their first child was born in 1870.

The youngest daughter AAAA 10 Margaret moved to Richmond sometime before 1871 when she married George Phillips in St Ignatius Church.

During this period ** Anastasia must have been becoming increasingly ill with the tumor of the liver that finally led to her death in 1870 after a long illness of 5 months.

** William continues to appear in the directories as a working cooper until 1872 when he died on Saturday, 10 th August at 176 Wellington Street.

His death notice appears in the Argus for Monday, August 12^th ''on the 10^th inst, at his residence 176 Wellington Street, Collingwood. Mr. ** William Smithwick, senior, aged 72. R.I.P.,'' In the Age it was noted that his ''funeral would move from his late residence''.

He is buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery in the same grave as his wife Anastasia and his son AAAA 7 Thomas. There is a substantial though simple gravestone and a low cast iron border around the grave. It backs onto the grave of AAAA 7 Thomas's family and supplies the headstone for that grave also. That grave adjoins that of William Smithwick d 1902 who was the grandson of William and Anastasia.

Of the two other daughters, AAAA 5 Mary died in 1900 in her sixties.

She was at the time living with the children of her brother AAAA 7 Thomas. AAAA 8 Anastasia later assisted (in her sixties and seventies) her nephew AARA 1 Christopher (son of AAAA 7 Thomas) to look after his family when his wife died young.

After his death in 1914 she lived with her unmarried nieces, AARA 3 Bridget and AARA 4 Anastasia and nephew AARA 8 Patrick (children of Thomas) until her death in 1924. AAAA 7 Thomas died on 19 th May 1884 and AAAA 3 Patrick later that same year on 15 th July. Both AAAA 9 Christopher and AAAA 10 Margaret died in 1929 the former on 30 th July and the latter on April 4 th.

----- SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES BY DIFFERENT AUTHORS

It may have been that, Thomas who I remember reading about as having printed one of Shakespeare's first folios; in the churchyard of St. Dunstan in the East. I am unable to confirm this memory though.

I (Alan Smithwick AABJ 1) have been in touch with a descendant of Michael and Ann Smithwick who came to Australia at about the same time as ** William and Anastasia Smithwick

Regarding the name Christopher there has probably been a Christopher in each generation since Christopher Bayhen

Coopers construct wooden barrels without using any glues or sealers to make them watertight, the barrels used to carry all sorts of liquid in them and other products as well.

William Verner Smithwick AABH 1 began his apprenticeship at the Federal Cask Company in 1919 and worked there for 33 years until it closed down. The Federal Cask Company supplied barrels to the Maize Products Company for storing and the carrying of glucose, which is used in the confectionery industry.

William Verner Smithwick who was (Alan Smithwicks father) working as a cooper, died of a heart attack on the job 25 5 1960 aged 56.

William Patrick Smithwick AABA 1 was President of the Federated Coopers Union in 1911. Proof of this is a letter written by William Patrick Smithwick about a train journey to Sydney and a Coopers Union Federal Conference meeting in Sydney.

If verbal information is correct I was told there were about 14 Smithwick members in the Coopers Union over a period of time, as can be read in the list of names below, it clarifies the statement made at the start of this sentence.

I Alan Smithwick has been compiling a list connected with the SMITHWICK'S as to whether they worked in a cooperage connected to a brewery or in a cooperage not connected to a brewery the code being (B) for brewery and (C) for cooperage

This is a list of 17 names of SMITHWICK men who were in the coopering craft over a period of at least 180 years starting from ** William born 1799 or 1800 (C) and (B) then his sons.

AAAA 3 Patrick Smithwick b 1830 (B) AAAA 4 James Smithwick b 1832, AAAA 6 William Smithwick b 1837 (B) AAAA 7 Thomas Smithwick b 1839 (B)

Grandsons AABA 1 William Patrick Smithwick b 1856 (B) AABA 2 George John Smithwick b 1858 (C)

Great grandsons AABB 2 William Gerald Smithwick b 1880 (C) AABB 6 Richard Eric Smithwick b 1891 (C) AABB 8 Cedric Leslie Smithwick (senior) b 1898 (B)

Great great grandsons AABH 1 William Verner Smithwick b 1903 (C) AABH 4 Cedric Leslie Smithwick (junior) b 1911 (B) AAFA 1 Albert William Smithwick b 1913 (B) AAFA 3 Colin Richard Smithwick b 1920 (B) AAFA 4 Harold George Smithwick b 1921 (B) Leslie William Smithwick b 1923 (B)

Great great great Grandson AAGL 2 George Edward Smithwick b 1946 (B)

Also I have been told that maybe four Smithwick men worked at the Yorkshire Brewery in Wellington St in Collingwood Melbourne

This list of names was included into the family tree pages in December 2002 by Alan Smithwick after making some inquiries and then collating the information.

Rearranged 21 September 2005

If there are any more SMITHWICK coopers not listed above in the SMITHWICK family group please let Alan Smithwick know so that I can include them into the above listing

We wonder how many other family groups have as many family members involved in the one trade skill as our family group and if there is not many family groups out there like ours then the family group of SMITHWICKS can be very proud of themselves can't we.

There is a little story that concerns AABA 1 William Patrick Smithwick when he worked at a distillery or a brewery at a town called Deniliquin in N.S.W. Australia. In the 1870's William Patrick would go to a Catholic Church on a Sunday.

He would wear clothes that smelt of the brewery smells, so some of the congregation complained to the priest about him, so he left the Catholic Church because of this, and so he became a Protestant.

So a lot of the families are all of different religions in Australia.

There are photographs of the graves in the Melbourne General Cemetery supplied in 2001

The age on Anastasia's tombstone should read 67 years.

This piece of information is as supplied with some SMITHWICK'S No 1 ALE Bottle labels as printed for E. SMITHWICK & SONS LTD for a bottled beer competition in 1937, which won -------------------------1 st prize;

It reads like this. JOHN SMITHWICK b 1690 came to Killkenny from Tipperay not so far away. In 1710 he got Title Deeds of Three Thatched Tenements at a rental of

'' One Pound Sterling and Two Fatt Turkies ''

There he founded ST.FRANCIS ABBEY BREWERY.

Nine generations of the Smithwick family have built on that foundation a business of which they are today justifiably proud.

A Beer which satisfies Irishmen must be good. SMITHWICKS BEER has done so for 250 years and today follows them all over the world, living up to it's slogan

BEER AT ITS BEST

--------- THE HISTORY ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

A little story about the history of the setting up of this web site . I (Alan) Smithwick and others in family groups, are concerned about our family histories being lost forever, made contact with other interested family members.

One family member was AAGA 3 Ken Mottram, who did most of the research into AABA 1 William Patrick Smithwick's family group, where both he and I come from.

Also unbeknown to us AARD 1Anthony Arthur was also doing research into his own family which is the AAAA 7 Thomas Smithwick group and also doing research into the origins of the SMITHWICK FAMILY NAME

In September 1986 I received a letter from AAKP 1 Narelle Smithwick who lives in Queensland Australia. Narelle was doing some research into the Smithwick family for herself and others. I sent Narelle copies of information I had at hand and I hope she was pleased with that information

Then in 1988 I had a telephone call from AADB 1 Ian Smithwick asking me about more information on the Smithwick family, I helped him out as best as I could.

Ian Smithwick wanted to meet other members of the larger Smithwick family group, so we decided to have a Smithwick ''family'' get together.

I was lucky enough to have access to a local scout hall and nearby park.

So I went ahead and chased up people on the telephone and with newspaper adds, as many interested members of ** William and Anastasia Smithwicks married children's descendents, there being six branches in total in Australia.

At the reunion we had members of each branch of tbe family there at the gathering of about 120 ranging from all age groups

As a result of the reunion a lot of new information was collected and then collated together for a Smithwick Family Archive held in trust by AADB 1 Ian Smithwick

Nothing more seemed to be happening with the family tree for a while until I had a phone call from my niece AABL 2 Carol Barnes who informed me about the SMITHWICK FAMILY.ORG web site and asked me how she could add extra information to it.

As I had all of the paper work (which is about 80 pages so far 2002) for the family tree I decided to put it on to a web site.

I telephoned AABV 2 Graeme B who set up the Smithwick family web site and told him what I wanted to do, So I asked him to set up this web site for me, which I am so grateful about.

As Graeme's wife is a cousin of mine they had access to some of the 1988, reunion information.

With the availability of the internet it became possible to put a lot of information onto it, so that is why there is the doubling up of some information on both website's.

The above article was written by ALAN SMITHWICK on 21 8 2002 updated 21 4 2005

Alan Smithwick who is aged 72 and nearly blind is the person printing out all of this information with one finger typing so bear with me if I might make some mistakes.

This is why we as a whole would like all that stored information that is out there to be added to this record of as many SMITHWICK FAMILY members as possible please.

I ALAN SMITHWICK has now got access to the internet a lot of the time, but sometimes a telephone call to the number above on page 7 would be most helpful. I am home nearly every day and most evenings.

-------------- QUESTION AND REQUESTS

If leaving a message please quote name and phone number slowly and clearly so that I don't have to play the message over and over to make sense of it thank you.

We the researchers of this information realize there are other descendents of other Smithwick groups in Australia and in other countries as well.

It would be most rewarding if you could provide some extra information if you want to please.

Question. Which is the correct way of saying the word '' SMITHWICK .'' Some of us say Smith wick and others say Smith ick?

In Ireland I have been told they say Smithwick but in England they say Smithick and it is even spoken in the two different forms in Australia.

As an example, using the word Warwick most people say Warick instead of the way it is written.

So if we are going to drop one ''w'' in Warwick why not drop the second ''w'' and finish up with the word Arick. So which way do we pronounce the word '' SMITHWICK ''

NEW REQUEST, I have received an e-mail from a lady named Niamh Walker who lives in Ireland seeking more information about Henry Smithwick and Ann Hogan also the Michael Smithwick who died in Melbourne in 1887 aged 72.

Also information is sought about Catherine Smithwick 1820 who married 1850 Bartholomew Carey and son Harry Carey.Added information to this is that Henry John Carey died at Prahran Victoria in 1943 aged 86 and was the son of Catherine Smithwick and Bartholomew Carey

I made an inquiry about a Sister Brohan who set up an orphanage in Orange New South Wales about 1916 (actually 1928) for the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent De Paul and came up with this information. She was born Margaret Brohan on 29 7 1880 in Ireland and changed her name to Sister Angela Brohan maybe when she founded the orphanage. She died on the 26 5 1949 and is buried in Orange cemetery. (Niamh Walker was seeking information about this lady also). Can anyone remember having contact with Sister Angela Brohan before she died in 1949.Can the religions of these people be supplied also thank you

The names below have come from the British Shipping Passenger List 1852-1869 Index and the Immigration to Victoria index 1852 to 1879

Can someone try and identify who these people are

Mr Smithwick in 1859 no age on list

Peter Smithwick aged 24 in 1859

Margaret Smithwick aged 24 in 1860

Mary Smithwick aged 42 in 1860

I think this is Mary Mehan b abt 1806 and her children (see page 25)

Michael Smithwick aged 55 in 1864 Ann Smithwick aged 50 in 1864.

I think this is Michael Smithwick and Anne Shortal (See page 85)

Mr Smithwick in 1864 no age on list

Catherine Smithwick aged 29 in 1876

Some traveller's put their age down wrong on the shipping lists so that they could gain passage on the ships. It also includes William and Anastasia Smithwick.

And also could there be any connection between Michael Smithwick and Elizabeth Hogan and Henry Smithwick and Ann Hogan at all.

The Smithwicks seem to have links to the Hogans in three different links look at pages (13,15, 16, 24 and 26 ) to understand what I mean

Are there any descendants of GEORGE SMITHWICK born about 1829 out there, from any country that can supply me with information and a list of descendants please. George Smithwick was the second child of William and Anastasia SMITHWICK

--------- INFORMATION REQUIRED SECTION

Can someone try and help me link some of the Smithwicks listed below to the main family groups that I have on this SMITHWICK family tree

I Alan Smithwick will attempt to slowly link some of these names below to any of the groups I have listed on this website, and with the aid of a couple of keen researchers it would not take so long to do

These names and dates are taken from Victorian State Records Micro Fiche from 1836 to 1985 of Births Deaths and Marriages. Some names may appear in other areas of this family tree record

Some of the dates and ages may not be correct because of the reporting methods used at the time of the event. Certificates should yield more correct information but maybe not?

Dates guessed at will be shown thus 1850 b

CORINA SMITHWICK 1950 b AND LESTER LYNN

RANA FRANCISCA SMITHWICK 1950 b

Elizabeth Smithwick 1825 b d 1923 m 1843 John Ryan Parent John Smithwick

William's mother's last name is printed as Anastasia BAYNE. On Anastasia's death certificate her parents names were Christopher Bayhen and Ann Bayhen formally Dee.

Other mistakes in spelling Anastasia's maiden name are Bain Bahen and Baker and I will leave the different spellings of Anastasia's maiden name as above to show how easy words can have misspelling put on to documents (Alan Smithwick).

*** AAAA 1 JOHN SMITHWICK B 1827

John was the first child and born in 1827. He married Catherine. He died before 1879 (likely before 1864 as the Irish Death Index, which began in 1864 does not record his death and Catherine is described as ''widow'' on her 1879 death certificate). Catherine arrived in Australia (Victoria) some time after the death of her son William's first wife in 1874.

It is assumed that this John, who was William's father, is a son of William and Anastasia based on the following circumstantial evidence.

William was born in Tipperary and his parents were John and Catherine Smithwick

Catherine's death certificate records her as born in Tipperary (as does her newspaper death notice).

William's family grave is beside that of William and Anastasia's son Thomas and backs onto that of William and Anastasia. He was close enough to Thomas to be the witness to his will. Catherine would have been born about the same year as John (son of William and Anastasia) ie 1825/6.

John is described on his son William's death certificate as a farmer. Catherine died at her son's farm at Lauriston near Kyneton, aged 54 on the 5 th of May 1879 and is buried in the same grave as her son's first wife (Ann O' Sullivan).

No other children other than William are mentioned on her death certificate. William married Ann O'Sullivan in Cork on January 17 th 1867, he was aged 17 and she was aged 16 (though his death certificate has him aged 29 at the time of his marriage and Ann aged 17).

(On the evidence it would seem the death certificate was wrong). Ann was a native of Timolegue. Their first son John Joseph was born in about 1868.

William and his family arrived in Melbourne in June 1869 on the ship Gresham (they were then aged 18 and 19). He was described in the ship's register as an agricultural labourer.

In 1870 another son, George Francis was born in Kyneton and then in 1872 a daughter Rose Ann in Melbourne. By 1873 they are recorded (Sands and McDougall) as living at 10 Mc Arthur Place. Carlton.

On the 13 th May 1874, aged 23, Ann died during the birth of another son, James, who also died. They were both buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery in the grave next to that of Thomas (probably his uncle).

It is presumed that his mother, Catherine then came from Ireland to help with his family of three children aged under7 years (though a Catherine Smithwick is recorded as arriving in South Australia in 1870).

At the same time he moved to Lauriston near Kyneton where his mother died in 1879. ( He may have been the William Smithwick recorded living at Staughton Vale as a cooper in 1875). He married the same year, Francis Middlemiss (aged 17). They had a daughter, Catherine, in 1883, then another, Eveline Mary in 1887 in Kyneton and finally a son, William Sarsfield in 1889.

In 1888 the Post Office Directory records that William is a farmer of Lauriston and Francis is at the Kent Hotel. Lauriston

In July 1901, William Sarsfield died aged 12 years. William himself died 9 months later of liver disease aged 52.

William Smithwick b 1850 was described on his death certificate (by his daughter Rose then resident at the Sunbury Asylum [resident or employee?] ) as a mining speculator.He was resident at the time at 8 Union St.Brunswick. In 1908 his son George is recorded in the electoral roll (er) as living at number 12 Union St.Brunswick, and his daughter Katherine at 5 Garden St.

By 1912 Francis is living at 127Canterbury Rd.Middle Park with her daughter Katherine (sic) Francis Smithwick (a milliner). Francis died on July 1 1942, aged about 80, at the home of her grand daughter, Joan (Mrs. Shapter) in Queenscliff.

She is described in the death notice in the Age as ''relict of the late William Smithwick (formerly of Bendigo and Kyneton) and loving mother of Catherine (sic) (Mrs.O'Grady), Eveleen (sic) (Mrs.T.W.Brook) and the loving grandmother of Mrs. Mellish (Brisbane), Mrs. Keith Bow and Ellie Brook (A.I.F.) and great grandmother of Raul,Paul and Noel Mellish . Diana and Patricia Shapter and Judith Bow''.

Of the children of William's first marriage, John Joseph married Mary Louisa Betts in about 1894 (he would have been aged about 26). She was 36 years old and had one child by a previous marriage. They had no children.

In 1895 John is recorded in the directories as living at Casseldon Street.off Little Latrobe Street while Mrs. Louisa Smithwick is at 10 Lonsdale Street. Melbourne.

They change addresses regularly in the following years, with only Mrs. Louisa appearing in the directories in 1896 and at 31 Little Latrobe Street in 1897 and John at 205 Latrobe Street in 1899 and Mrs. Louisa at both 32 Little Latrobe Street and 20 David Street.Carlton in 1900.

These areas were both poor and to a certain extent disreputable at the time.

John's last appearances in the directories are at 21 Nicholas Lane, Melbourne in 1909-1911, while Mrs. Louisa appears at various addresses from 4 Greeves Street, Fitzroy 1903 in 1903 to 1 University Place, Carlton from 1916-1924.

It is not known when John died. Mary Louisa died on July 29 th 1944 and is buried in the Coburg Cemetery.

The second son of William Smithwick, George Francis, married Ellen Agnes Slattery about 1911/12. They had 4 children, John William who died in the year of his birth. George Francis (who married Mary Burden and has children and grandchildren living in Victoria today),

Mary Theresa who married Jack Quirk and who lived in Sydney and Gerald Joseph who married Maureen and had one daughter (and one grand daughter [1982])

Of the daughter, Rose, nothing is known beyond the fact that she was alive and unmarried at the time of her father's death.

*** AAAA 2 GEORGE SMITHWICK B 1829

George was the second son of William and Anastasia Smithwick.He was born about 1829. Apparently he did not come to Australia. Nothing has been discovered about his life to date.

The Irish Genealogical Office refers to a George Smithwick who appears in the Tithe Applotment Books for Ardmayle civil parish (1827) occupying 99 acres in the townland of Camus.

They state, cautiously, '' that it is thought likely that George Smithwick was related to William, although the precise nature of the relationship can only be guessed at.'' Perhaps George was William's brother after whom his son was named?

William (son of John who is discussed above) named his second son George, as did Patrick (William and Anastasia's son) who named his second son George in 1858. There is no George recorded in the Irish Death Index between 1864 and 1921.

*** AAAA 3 PATRICK SMITHWICK B 1830

The third child, There is some uncertainty about the year of Patrick's birth. By calculating from his death certificate (which states he was aged 51 in 1884) he must have been born in 1832 or 1833 but calculating from his father's death certificate (which states he was aged 42 in 1872) he was born in 1830. The latter date is confirmed by the baptismal record which has him baptised on St. Patrick's day 1830 with sponsors William Ryan and Mary Connors both of Kilbreedy, the townland where his family lived at the time.

Patrick was living in London at the time he married Ellen Shea in about 1855. She had been a parasol maker. They were living at 2 Devenport St. Ratcliff, near Commercial Road in East London when their first son William Patrick was born on the 14 th October 1856. He was baptised a little later at their local church, St Mary and St Michael's in Commercial Road.

They were still in London when a second son, George was born in 1858 as is attested by William's first communion at St Boniface's church in May 1860? It is likely that their next two children were also born in London; Ellen in about 1863 and Mary Ann in about 1866.

Their last child Margaret was probably born in Melbourne in about 1869. The family arrived in Melbourne sometime about 1867.

The directories of the time first record them in 1872 in Rosslyn Street .West Melbourne and in the same period at Dow Street. Sandridge (Port Melbourne). From 1875 until 1881 (except for 1876 when they are recorded in Arden St) they lived at 182 Wellington Street, Collingwood.

Close to their brother Thomas and to the breweries and distilleries which operated in the area, and which would have provided employment for a cooper.

From 1882 until his death in 1884 Patrick lived at 94 Arden St Hotham (North Melbourne). Ellen died soon after their move to North Melbourne on October 25 th 1883.

END OF PATRICK SMITHWICKS FAMILY GROUP

*** AAAA 4 JAMES SMITHWICK B 1832

James was the fourth son of William and Anastasia and was born about 1832.

There is no evidence that he came to Australia apart from a reference in the directories for 1872 and 1873 to a J. Smithwick living at 48 Rosslyn St, West Melbourne, which was also Patrick's address at the time.

There is no other candidate recorded in Australia at the time, with the initial J, old enough to have been recorded. No other record traced. No Irish death record from 1864 to 1921.

*** AAAA 5 MARY SMITHWICK B 1834 D 2 5 1900

Mary was born about 1834 and was the first daughter of William and Anastasia Smithwick.

She was baptised on July 20 th 1834 and her sponsors were her grandparent's, Christopher and Ann Bayhen. She and her parents are recorded as living in the townland of Ceamus (Camus).

There is not much recorded about her life. Her death certificate records her occupation as servant. She did not marry. She was aged about 66 when she died on May 2 nd 1900. She was at the time living with the children of her brother Thomas at 45 Budd Street Collingwood. She is buried with her sister, and her niece, both called Anastasia.

*** AAAA 6 WILLIAM SMITHWICK B 1837

William was born in 1836 1837, in Tipperary, and, according to his baptismal record, in the townland of Killbrudy (Kilbreedy). He was baptised on January 8 th 1837 and his sponsors were Thady Fahy and Miss Hayes.

It is not known for certain when he came to Australia but he may have been the William Smithwick who sailed from Liverpool on January 14 th 1861 and who arrived in Melbourne in May 1861.

There was also a Mr. Smithwick who arrived aboard the Carrier Dove, in November 1857.

William married Bridget Finnerty in 1866 and they had a child, named Hannah, born in Ballarat in 1867. Bridget was from County Limerick and the record of her death has her father's name as William Fenaughty and her mother as Johanna Donovan.

Bridget died in 1868 (aged 27) and in the same year William is thought to have married Annie Northbridge (Northridge) in Geelong, though there is no record of the event. (His brother Christopher also married in Geelong in that year).

A son Thomas William was born on September 12 th of 1869 at 12 Gipps Street Collingwood, just around the corner from Wellington Street, where his parents William and Anastasia and brother Thomas lived.

By the end of November of that same year they were living at 1 Bay Street Sandridge (Port Melbourne), the same suburb as his brother Patrick.

A daughter, Mary Ann, was born in 1872, again in Collingwood.

Like his father and brother’s Thomas and Patrick, he followed the trade of cooper. He and his growing family moved around the country fairly frequently as the list of birthplaces of their children shows.

They were in Warrenheip, near Ballarat when their second son James was born, in 1874, perhaps there to make barrels for the large brewery or the distillery that were there at that time.

By 1875 they were back in Geelong where their third son, William John was born. In 1876 they were in Adelaide when their second daughter, Teresa Adelaide, was born. Another son George was born in Traralgon in 1877.

Not certain where their fifth son, Edmond was born in 1879 but the birth is not registered in Victoria nor are any others up to 1888 (the last year checked). Other children followed in 1883 Maggie, also in 1883 Ruby was born, in 1886, Elsie and finally George Patrick in 1892.

The family left Victoria after 1877 and finally moved to Queensland in the late 1880's with the first record of them in the Queensland Post Office directories being in 1889 when they were living at Henderson Street Bulimba.

William is still coopering. He is also listed at that address every year until 1892 when in the 1892/93 edition they are listed as at Henderson Street, Balmoral. Did Bulimba become Balmoral? (Separate suburbs now 2002).

William died at Mt Morgan near Rockhampton on 23 rd December 1898 aged 58 (according to his death certificate) but more likely aged 61 or 62.

---------------- WILLIAM SMITHWICKS CHILDREN

Thomas William married Ellen Beare and they had four children, three sons and one daughter.

Descendants of two of the sons are living in Victoria. Thomas lived in Victoria where he ran hotels. James married Elizabeth Stack. He was a lighthouse keeper. They had eleven children and there are many descendants in Queensland today.

William John married Margaret Jane Wyatt and they have many descendants in Queensland. Teresa married William McIntosh and also has many descendants.

George Patrick had three children and also has descendants in Queensland. No details are known of the other children and their descendants at the moment.

In reference to the above statement a rather large amount of information has been collected since the comment was put to paper.

*** AAAA 6 WILLIAM SMITHWICK’S FAMILY GROUP

*** AAAA 6 William Smithwick b 1837 d 23 12 1897 1 st m 1866 Bridget Fennerty or Finnerty b maybe 1841 d 20 8 1868 one child (Bridgets father's name was William Fenaughty)

First

**** AAJA 1 Hannah (Annie) Smithwick b 22 3 1867 d 15 8 1935 on death certificate she died a spinster not as suggested married a man named Hales

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

On a copy of the Memorandum of Births certificate in Queensland is George Patrick Smithwick born 3 11 1889

On the when and where married section is the date 20 October 18 64 Melbourne Bourke Victoria This pertains to the supposed marriage of William Smithwick and Ann Elizabeth Northridge.

This information is incorrect in as much Brigdet was not dead and also Ann Elizabeth Northridge was not even in Australia; I think she arrived in 1867 or 1868. If you observe the date of 1864 that is listed above,

I think the year of 64 has been put in on a different typewriter similar to the way I have printed it above

Someone told me recently that some of the b d and m information was not, submitted to the proper organization until up to two years later, but because of the method of collection in Queensland in this case it is 24 years instead. So that is why there seems to be different years to what it is supposed to be

It seems as though the information was not collected until the 7 10 1913 and was put in by Annie. E. Southwick Mother. Maybe Ann Elizabeth Smithwick's memory was not too sharp because she was 66 years old in 1913 and may have forgotten some of the dates of events

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Ann Elizabeth Smithwick is the mother of the next ten children listed below

This is a list of the children listed on the death certificate of William who died 23 December 1897 Annie 30 Thomas 28 Mary 26 James 24 (Eleven months between) William 24 Edmond 20 Teresa 18 Maggie 16 Ruby 14 Elsie 11 George 9

I know we have a lot of information on this family group but with more input the large branch of this family group could become the largest group of SMITHWICKS and their descendants.
