Customs & Excise Officers – Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index
Irish Genealogical Research Society
Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Customs & Excise Officers & their families
Also Inland Revenue officers
The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library,
reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, Prison Officers etc. These include
abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, & these are given below for all papers up to 1870. Dr Smythe-
Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry
below. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present
being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.
For a guide to PRO records on Customs & Excise officers in Britain & Ireland, see:-
http://www.mariners-l.co.uk/UKCustoms.html.
Note also the PRO guide: H M Customs and Excise was formed in 1909 by the merging of the Board of
Customs with the Excise Department of the Inland Revenue. Customs officers collected the duty on
imports and prevented smuggling, while Excise men were responsible for collecting the excise tax on home
produced goods.
Customs Officers:
Principal Officers: 1. Controller of Customs. 2. Collector of Customs. 3. Surveyor of Customs
Lesser roles: Tide Waiter, Tide Surveyor, Coast Waiter, Land Waiter, Land Surveyor, Searcher, Weigher
& Tidesmen.
Some Excise Officers serving in Britain are included, where an Irish connection is noted, & it is possible
that they may have also served in Ireland; Dr Smythe-Wood has also collected elsewhere instances of Irish
serving in Customs & Excise abroad.
