Notes for Augusta Amelia Townsend (1)
Married 8 February 1877 (2), at Aughadown Church, Skibbereen. Captain Richard Lane Warren RN (3) (4) of The Crescent, Cobh, Cork, son of Thomas Warren(5) of Monkstown and Anne Townsend [408], shown as 'Richard dsp' at paragragh 1.A.c.(11).
Richard Warren was the sole executor of the will of Augusta's aunt, Georgiana Townsend [419]. Page 861 of The Calendar of Wills and Administration 1858-1922 in the National Archives of Ireland records that the will of " Georgiana Townshend otherwise Townsend late of Carysfort Avenue Blackrock County Dublin Spinster”, who died on 14 November 1894, was proved at the Principal Registry on 19 December 1894 by "Richard Lane Warren of The Crescent Queenstown County Cork Esquire the sole Executor". Effects £3,595 14s 10d.
An interesting footnote on page 1156 of The Council Book of the Corporation of the City of Cork 1690-1800 by Richard Caulfield records “An interesting document, purporting to be an agreement between Daniell O'Kieffe, of Dromagh, and Colonel Townsend, bearing his signature and seal, is in the possession of Miss Augusta A. Townsend, of Whitehall, Skibbereen. “ How this came into her possession and its present whereabouts is a mystery!
It would appear that Augusta died before 1900 as she is not mentioned in Richard's will.

(4) U.H. Hussey de Burgh's ‘Landowners of Ireland 1878' records "WARREN, Captain, Passage, Cork. 1477 acres £706." and this most probably refers to Richard. ‘Slater’s Royal National Directory of Ireland, 1894’ records under the heading ‘Munster Parishes – Queenstown’ - “Warren Capt. Richard Lane, 2 The Crescent.” Under the heading ‘County Magistrates for the Province of Munster Co Cork’ the Directory records “Warren Deputy-Inspector-General Thomas Robert RN. Jamesbrook hall, Ballinacurra, Midleton.” Who is this?
