From where these suranames come?

Question

Verryth?

Carleton?

Smethurst?

Answer 1

Hard to know for sure. But they sound British in origin to me.

Answer 2

All probably British (2 definitely.)

Verryth could be Cornish or a mutation of a Welsh name.

Carleton-anglo-saxon. 'from the town of the carl'

  Smethurst-looks to be saxon again. 'hurst' or 'thurst' appears in root words in the north.

Answer 3

Carleton has links to Dorchester England.

Verryth has few links. Those to people are from Australia, so Great Britain is the probable origin.

Smethurst is also of English origin.There is a genealogical link that reports:

"Spelling variations of this family name include: Smethurst, Smethirst and others. First found in Lancashire where they were seated from very ancient times as Lords of the manor of Chorley, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: John Smethurst who settled in Virginia in 1699; William Smethurst settled in New England in 1705; Richard, Robert, and Samuel Smethurst all arrived in Philadelphia between 1844 and 1862."
