155 From "CITY OF GLEN EIRA POST-WAR & HIDDEN GEMS HERITAGE REVIEW 2020" by Built Heritage, Melbourne, VIC, AU:

"Born in Poland in 1930, Solomon (Sam) Kurtz was the eldest child of Herz Icko Kurcz (aka Harry Kurtz), who migrated to Australia in 1938. The family, comprising Kurtz, wife Sheine and their two young children, settled in Carlton North, which was then the principal heartland for Melbourne's Jewish community. Harry Kurtz duly became involved in the Rag Trade, entering into partnership with fellow émigré Leo Oberman as manufacturers of ladies' clothing, styled as the Supreme Mantle Company of 343 Little Collins Street, Melbourne (Age, 22/01/1951:7). That partnership dissolved in the early 1950s; by the end of that decade, Harry and son Sam had formed
their own investment business, Kurtz, Son & Company, with an office in High Street, St Kilda."

157 From Alan Smithwick:

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. 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).
34
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 5Garden 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.
35
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. 
Smithwick, John (I1521)
 
158 From Alan Smithwick:

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 14th 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.

In letter of 8 Aug 1644 from Lords Inchiquin and Broghill of Youghal, Cork to Lord Esmond of the Duncannon garrison, then navy Captain Henry Smithwick is sent to communicate resolutions.

From Patrick Little's book "Lord Broghill and the Cromwellian Union with Ireland and Scotland", Roger Boyle (Lord Broghill) joined forces with Parliament and Oliver Cromwell in August 1649 and commanded the local forces whose aim was to put down Catholic insurgence. Joshua Boyle, Major Francis Foulke, and then Captain Henry Smithwick appear to have been influential in bringing Lord Broghill over.

171 From censuses, Patrick was a shopkeeper and later postmaster Smithwick, Patrick (I3868)
 
172 From Christine Woods: "I believe my grandmother used to correspond with her. Martha did live in Ireland for a time. I have a report card of hers from St. Mary's Convent School, Ennis.. Unfortunately there's no information as to year. I remember hearing a tale of young Martha playing outside in India, when she was suddenly scooped up in the trunk of an elephant (obviously domesticated) and saved from a poisonous snake of whose presence she was unaware.

Based on her age in this report card, it is my belief (RJS) that her mother passed away between 1862-1867 and that Martha was sent to Ireland to be cared for.

182 From history of the Brereton family (https://archive.org/details/breretonsofchesh00brer/page/50):

"The monument was originally finished with a shield, which is now lying in the chancel, on which were the arms of Smethwicke, OR, (OR means gold color) three crosses patee-fitche, sable. On the friezes below were originally nine shields, as follows:
(i) Smethwicke, impaling Brereton ; argent, two bars, sable.
(2) Smethwicke, impaling Davenport; argent, a chevron on sable, between three cross crosslets fitchee of the second.
(3) Smethwicke, impaling Ratclyfife ; argent, two bars engrailed, sable, a label of three points, gules.
(4) Smethwicke, impaling Kingsley ; vert, a cross engrailed, ermine.
(5) Smethwicke, impaling Downes ; sable, a hart (deer) lodged, argent.
(6) De-stroyed.
(7) Smethwicke, impaling ____; argent, fretty gules, on a canton azure, a cross patee, argent.
(8) Dexter coat destroyed, impaling Vernon; OR., on a fesse, azure, three garbs, OR.
(9) Destroyed.

For the meaning of the foregoing heraldic terms, see the glossary in the appendix. The term "impaling" signifies the marriage connections with the families of the names mentioned.

The name Downes refers to the Knights of Donnybrook Castle, Kildare, with whom the Colclough family were probably connected. Those of the Vernons and Davenports were the same as those with whom the Breretons, of Brereton, also married."

186 From Laura Stewart Civey:

He was born July 25, 1892 in New Albany, Floyd Co., IN. He graduated high school from New Albany, IN. in 1916. He was in the U.S. Army from May 1917 - Sept. 1919. He was attached to the 33rd Infantry Division, 131st Regiment, Company "M" from Chicago. He was a Sergeant in WWI. He was in the Battle of Meuse-Argonne in France. About one of every ten was killed or wounded in this battle. From The World Book 1963, World War I p.376 he had underlined certain sections and wrote "I was there HHS." The underlined sections were: On August 8, the Allies, led by Canadian and Australian troops, attacked the Germans fiercely at A miens. and the Allies swept toward Saint Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne region. American soldiers took over a large portion of the battle line. He was wounded and received 3 Purple Heart medals ( 2 shell shots & 1 for being gassed with mustard gas); also received the WWI Victory Medal with three battle clasps: Somme Defensive March 21 - April 6, 1918, Somme Offensive August 8 - November 11, 1918, & Meuse - Argonne September 26 - November 1918. The soldiers that carried him out of the battlefield used him as a human shield to get out. He was stationed in France. On March 14, 1919 he was at Camp Lee, VA., after he was wounded in the Battle of Argonne. He also received a silver lapel button for being wounded in action.
He used to love to tell old war stories about how the Germans would abandon a tank that would get stuck and they would come along and use the law of leverage to get them out. ( I wish I had paid more attention to these stories.) He returned home from the war to Chicago, IL. where he went to college at the Armour Institute of Technology where he received his Mechanical Engineering Degree (B.S.M.E. in 1924).
He was Supt. of Steel Mills of which U. S. Steel was one. The plant in Chicago was known as South Works. He worked for the Atomic Energy Commission during WWII and also War Assets Administration. He lived in New Albany, IN., Chicago., IL., Birmingham, AL, Fontana, CA, Provo, UT., Idaho Falls, ID., Pontiac, MI., Waverly, OH., Paducah, KY. and later where he retired with his wife on her family land in Glasgow, KY. Part of his wife's family land was sold in 1963 and he bought a tract and subdivided it, known as Beaver Creek Subdivision. It was located off of Lexington Drive; the road is named after him, Stewart Drive in Glasgow.
During his retirement he loved to fish and hunt. He owned a boat dock, Dale Hollow Marina, which he changed the name to Sulphur Creek Marina in Burkesville, KY. It is now known as Sulphur Creek Resort. He was founder of Barren River Rod and Gun Club in Barren Co., KY. He was a 32nd degree Mason, belonged to the Windsor-Blackstone Lodge No. 1124 in Chicago, IL. He was also a Shriner, but in later years he wasn't as active. He attained the 33rd degree, but dropped it make to 32nd because of obilgations to it, that he didn't have time to commit to. He was a very intelligent man and very congenial. He was 83 when he died and had only immediate family, but the funeral home was filled with flowers from everywhere. He never met a stranger.
I remember one time when we were going to Louisville, he picked up a hitch hiker (this would have been in the 60's when you didn't consider it as dangerous). He drove this man 30 minutes out of our way and then when he let the man out, he handed the man some money. My father was always kind to everyone, and he always had time to speak to people. At the time of his death on April 19, 1976 he was the oldest living veteran in Barren Co., Ky. He was a very active member in the D.A.V.

188 From Laura Stewart Civey:

Wil's parents both died when he was only 6 years old. His mother died on Christmas Eve from consumption (TB) & his father had just died 6 months before of typhoid fever. He was an only child. He went to live with his Uncle & Aunt, John B. & Penina Winstandley. Guardian's Docket Floyd Co., IN. shows this. May 8, 1877. Final Report of Guardianship of William H. Stewart in Floyd Co., IN., signed Dec. 26,1875 by John B. Winstandley.
Wil was a conductor on the Daisy Line of the Interstate Public Service Company. It ran west of Jefferson St. in Louisville and over the K. and I. Bridge and the interurban route east on Madison St. and over the Big Four Bridge. He and his family moved to Chicago, IL. after Homer finished school about 1911-12. In Deed Book 61 Floyd Co., IN. on Oct. 7th, 1909, William H. & Maggie L.(Smithwick) Stewart sell unto Fred J. Brown & Thomas Smithwick ( her brother ) for the sum of $1.00 a part of lot or block #16 of the Griffin Tract. On the 1910 Floyd Co., IN. census William H. (conductor), Margaret, & Homer (bill clerk) are listed. Wil was last listed on the New Albany directory in 1911-1912. I believe that they moved to Chicago soon after his mother-in-law's death in Dec. 1911. He and his family lived at 1813 E. Spring St. in New Albany. At time of his death he was living at 7910 Ridgeland Ave. in Chicago. Ward 46. He died of a stroke. Death certificate lists: paralysis following cerebral haemorrhiage & that he died at 9:45 pm. He and his wife are buried in the Fairview Cemetery, New Albany, IN. (His grandfather Isaac Stewart's plot) He was a member of the Knights of Pythias.
In correspondence with my 1st cousin Esther, daughter of Manor, she remembers that her Grandfather Wil was always selling something. She wrote that she remembers that he came home from work one day without his shirt! He had sold it to a Mexican at work (Chicago). She remembers her grandparents riding the South Shore (electric train) to visit them over a weekend. She writes "They didn't come often, but I always looked forward to Grandpa taking me to the drug store for an ice cream cone! He had a green thumb - grew beautiful sweet - peas in the gravel parking lot at their apartment."

190 From Magna Brittanica, 1810:

The manor of Smethwick was given by Ralph Brereton in or about the reign of King John to his nephew Orme de Smethwick and his heirs paying twelve pence yearly to the chapel of Brereton.
