LETITIA WARING, from Waringstown.

[MRGREEN]

Does anyone have information on LETITIA WARING.
She was a member of the WARING family from WARINGSTOWN, County Down, Northern Ireland.   
She married into my own GREEN family in 1802.   I would be particularly interested in Letitia's parents names/history.

Hi,
There is a collection in the PRONI (Public Records Office of Northern  Ireland )relating to the Waring family of Waringstown and Donaghcloney. Check the Proni website (just put PRONI into Google) or try www.rascal.ac.uk (Research and Special Collections available locally) Also, the "Ros Davies " website is an excellent resource for County Down. Just put "Ros Davies" into a Google search.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for any general information at all.   I have seen some of it before.  If only some specific information on LETITIA WARING herself would turn up.

Hello Mr Green,

I do not understand this at all Letitia should have been here http://www.familysearch.org It is an extremely well known genealogical site. The name Waring is well known in Ulster..why the Waring family have a town..well a long village in Co. Down..named after them. What do I get when I do a search..either Warings of Ireland location unspecified or Warings of Co. Antrim. None in Co. Down . Do the guys at that genealogical site not realise that the Waring family were so important they even had a street in the centre of the City of Belfast named after them..never mind that village in Co. Down

In 1783 Dorothea Maxwell (the heiress of Finnebrogue, Co. Down) married her cousin John Waring. The site following refers to properties in Waringstown so where does John fit into the picture. http://www.proni.gov.uk/records/private/perceval.htm

An article in the Cavan Herald dated 17th September 1824 mentions that Rev Holt Waring was an Assistant Grand Chaplain of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland. http://www.irelandoldnews.com/Cavan/1824/OCT.html

I have just spotted a Rev Holt Waring. He owned the Waringstown estate in 1832. The second site relates the story of a visit paid by John O'Donovan who was conducting the Ordnance Survey in the area. He happened to call upon Dean Holt Waring on Easter Sunday. One or two phrases in the article interested me. The first "but the name becomes  extinct in him, as he has no son but all daughters" The second appeared at the end of the article "(Dean Holt Waring appears to have been Rector of Lurgan from 1798 to 1850)"  This made me wonder, since Letitia married in 1802 (possibly in her twenties), whether Dean Waring could have been her father. Did he conduct the marriage service You may be able to find a little more about the Dean by having a look at Rev James Blennerhassett Leslie's series of books The Clergy and Parishes of.... In this instance ....of Armagh may contain the required information. http://www.lecalehistory.co.uk/lewisW.htm

Broken link- please let us know if you find a new link to this information

The Lurgan Directory of 1846 may interest you.
In addition to Rev Holt Waring mention is made of Thomas Waring of Waringsfield. http://www.lurganancestry.net/recordsonline/1846directory/1846dirpage1.html

I presume James Waring was related to Dean Holt Waring, as James son.. Holt married Anne Frew in 1864.

Best Wishes, Chris

Mr Green, I really think you should try writing to the Waring family relatives living in Waringstown House. I traced a current article on google saying they were still living there.. Secondly if you are offered family trees for Waring and cant be bothered to follow them up saying you already know all about Letitia but still demand to know about her parents, where else can you go better than a family tree whose existence is to record parents. The free query about their relevance is a email to the LinenHall Library , the librarian checks to see if Letitia appears in the generations, and emails you back saying no or yes.  Yes you may have to pay a pound or two for photocopies to be made and sent to you.   Christopher for once didn't find the 184 IGI entries that do exist for Waring's in co Down on familysearch.com, he must have not extended that section but he did point you at PRONI for the family archive. Now to get that looked up by a local professional genealogist will really cost you.  For the record and to save others time, I didn't find Letitia Waring or indeed you William Green on the familysearch site. Goodbye Jim
