Stack, master tailor, 1800s
« on: Saturday 31 March 12 11:15 BST (UK) »
Seeking birthplace in Kerry of Garrett Stack who settled in Ennis, Co. Clare in the 1850s as a Master tailor. He had a brother James and sisters Kate, Margaret and Elizabeth (& maybe others). The sisters all went to the USA. Garrett married in Ennis in 1859 & had children Michael, Robert, Garrett, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, James, John Francis. Possibly related to the Robert Stack Scanlan family of Ballybunion. Thanks, Fiona

1901 census living at 8 Brewery Lane, Ennis No 3, Clare
Garrett age 55 wife Ellen age 50 with children

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie

1911 census - Garrett Stack living with son Robert at 1 Chapet Lane, Ennis. No 2 Urban, Clare
says Garrett age 72, but with Irish ages you just have to take a guess.

both census say Master Tailor

Thank you, Rathmore! I have all his info since he arrived in Co. Clare as Iknow his family here. What has eluded us for about 5 years now is where in Kerry he originated ...  My search is not helped by the fact that almost every Stack family seems to have the same first names. I originally thought it would be easy to find a "Garrett" but it is very common among the Stacks.
