i am trying to connect with people whoseancestors lived at Castle Warren in Ringaskiddy prior to 1850. I am a direct descendant of the last Warren's there. Robert Warren the orthologist and part writer of the book the Birds of Ireland was my Gr gr Uncle. He returned to Monkston after living in Co Sligo for years and died in Monkston.
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I see that there are two records on the Griffith's Valuation for a Robert Warren here
You can use the Cancelled/Revision Books to find out more about who retained the land after that period up to the 1980s. Unfortunately these records are not yet available online so you would have to travel to the Valuation Office, Abbey Street, Dublin to view the relevant Books. You can learn more here
Do you know if Robert had any siblings?

Hello Clare
Thank you for your response. Robert had three siblings: Edward Harte Warren, my great grandfather, Amy Elizabeth Warren a well known concologist in her day and Matilda Warren. The only person who married was Edward Harte Warren. I live in Australia but have been to Ireland and researched all the facilities so I know a lot about what happened and who bought Castle Warren and the lands. I have met the last owners who had to leave because the Port Authority took over all the land nearby.
What I am trying to find out if there are any relatives of my Warren family's cousins in the area still. I have not been successful in this.
Thank you for your help.
I am actually taking a couple of talks on Researching in Ireland soon and will be giving the participants your web page if they would like to use it.
Best wishes

Hi Anne
Thanks for mentioning us in your talks.
I don't see anyone either on the online phone book in the area which is a good way to follow up - Carrigaline seems to be the closest.
This message will remain permanently so that anyone else researching the family name can connect with you.
Best wishes

Hi Anne, how are you. I'm Tony Warren and I'm from Ringaskiddy, very close to Castle Warren. My father came from Carrigaline and his father came from a little town in Essex called Marks Tey, I do not know the history of the Castle or the earlier owners. When I was growing up, it was part of a farm.
There are a number of Cogan families in Carrigaline.
Kind regards,
Tony.
