A Smack in Ireland

Surnames: Smark, Smack, Smrk

Hi everyone,

FYI I have come across a James Smack in the Griffiths Valuation of County Clare 1855.

My opinion is that this is actually James Smark and it appears that he is residing with a Mary Smarks (Smark). I am unsure of the relationship as my Great Great Grandfather has a brother called James and a sister called Mary.....

I was wondering if anyone else on the board has any lineage that goes back to Ireland?

I have read a previous thread that said that there are many variations of the surname Smack i.e. Smock,Smeek etc... I do know that there are lot of people from Eastern Europe who emigrated to the US and as part of the US poilicy surnames had to have vowels - apparently this is one reason for Smarks in the US (Smrk).

Would be great to hear from anyone with any information :o)

Kind Regards,

Andrew.
