Ashley,

According to Griffiths Valuation on Origins there was one Honoria Reeks renting a house and yard on the Lower Glanmire Road in Cork.

There is a mention of Myles Reek, a Lessor in Malahide, Co. Dublin but no mention of where he lived himself.

Also a Thomas Reecks of Kilkenny, a very large property owner judging by the number of entries he has as the Lessor of properties in the Castlecomer area.
