I'd be grateful for any information or suggestions as to the family (particularly parents or siblings) of John Warren who appears to have been born in the Macroom area in 1838, and married Margaret Murphy in about 1875. They seem to have had five children born in the same area (Michael J, Hannah/Johannah, Mary, Annie, and Katie/Catherine) and then emigrated to New York and had a two further children Maggie and John. I have a genetic connection to their descendants in the USA but would like to find any family that stayed in Ireland. Many thanks

Apart from the eldest and the youngest, the others born outside Macroom.

...John Warren who appears to have been born in the Macroom area in 1838, and married Margaret Murphy in about 1875.
Here's the marriage in 1875.

Hi
John Warren is recorded as age 22, at the time of his marriage in January 1875. Wouldn’t this mean he was born c. 1853 and not 1838.

Yes, you're right, this is something I only noticed after reading the link to the marriage record yesterday. The marriage record I had previously didn't have these the ages recorded. The earlier birth date I have now looks unreliable (the marriage record is more convincing to me) and I need to rethink. However I think it unlocks some possibilities for me thank you

Hi
Do you know whether your John had siblings?
There were two Warren females, both stated to be daughters of 'Michael Warren, Labourer', married in different churches in Macroom area, around that time.
2 Mar 1878 - Hannah Warren (m) Timothy Riordan. One witness was Margaret Warren.
See:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1878/11097/8061505.pdf
8 Feb 1890 - Annie Warren, age 27 (m) Cornelius Lucey. On this one Michael Warren is 'Dead'.
See:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1890/10696/5898758.pdf
There may be more. It might be worth checking 1901 and 1911 census for them and their children, if they had any. You can also check for births of children on www.irishgenealogy.ie.

Thanks, great, no I wasn't aware of them ... and siblings are exactly this kind of leads I need.
This looks like it might be another one ... Margaret Warren (again daughter of Michael, a labourer):

Although this marriage takes place in Ballincollig, Margaret's marriage to William Aherne looks like it produces a son, Denis the following year, but born much closer to Macroom in the parish of Kilmurry.
Unfortunately, I can't read the name of the building where Margaret & William's marriage took place or the location of their residence at the time. I wondered if anyone could help? Many thanks

The marriage is in the Clergyman's house (of Ovens? RC Church).
They're both living in the townland of Currahaly.

Hi
I mentioned the marriage of Annie Warren (dau of Michael, deceased) to Cornelius Lucey on 8 Feb 1890.
On 11 Mar 1890 Johanna Warren, 64, widow of a labourer died in Macroom. Informant was Annie Lucey, her daughter. See:-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1890/06111/4744345.pdf
So, it looks like Johanna was the wife of the late Michael Warren, who died before his dau Annie married Cornelius Lucey in Feb 1890?
Regards

That's very interesting, thank you.
I don't know how well you can see this image but this is the jigsaw puzzle of family history I am grappling with! My own family is descended from Quigleys (which may mean we have a connection to the Quigley family in the centre of the image). In any case we are genetically linked to a group of DNA cousins in the States (we live in England, though my Dad is from Dublin) and the red numbers show the connections in centimorgans. They all seem to be descended from Warrens from the Macroom area.
I'm trying to work out how the (currently separate) branches of the tree shown in image might be linked. It seems possible that we are all descended from someone called Warren living in Macroom, and that person may have been born around 1830 or so. Any comments or suggestions would be very welcome. I feel like I need some fresh eyes!
