| Barry writes - "I have come
across a book, Clergy of Dublin and
Glendalough, which includes short
biographies including those of some of the SMYTH
clergy. As usual, it is difficult to know whether
the information can be relied upon. In the past,
however, the Church of England clergy were probably the
greatest collectors of genealogical information,
especially about fellow clergymen and their
families. Nevertheless, caveat emptor." Some Smyth Family Clergy ... Extracted from Leslie, J. B., and W. J. R. Wallace, Clergy of Dublin and Glendalough, The Ulster Historical Foundation, 2001. |
