• Notes

  Family are Warrens, Hungerfords and Travers'. Owned land in Co. Cork William Francis ATKIN was the youngest son of Walter ATKIN and Catherine DREW. He was born about 1795. ~~~ A Marriage Notice appeared in the Cork Southern Reporter ;... 18 March 1826, ... 'on the 8th inst. by the Rev Henry STEWART, William Francis ATKIN Esq. youngest son of Walter ATKIN of Atkinville to Alicia, third daughter of Rev. William STEWART, both of this County.' William Francis and Alicia Hungerford ATKIN lived at Fernhill, Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Though it has been established that they had four children, an article about one of their sons states that there were four sons in the family. William Francis ATKIN died sometime before 1850. ~~~ Son - Walter William Atkin - born in 1832 and died in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1855. ~~~ Book, Year 1846 Page 19. Memorial No. 92 (son of Walter bc 1754 &Catherine Drew ATKIN) Memorial of a Deed of Assignment dated 17th August, 1846 made between Walter William Atkin of Fern Hill, County Cork, under 21 years, eldest son and heir of William Francis Atkin, deceased, who was sole trustee in an indenture dated 6 July, 1832. His widow, Alice Hungerford Atkin, is recited as his widow and his executrix. It concerns young Walter Wm.'s trusteeship of a certain marriage settlement between other parties. The trusteeship falling on Alice until Walter should reach the age of 21 years. (A summary) Fernhill was leased from Lord Shannon by W F Atkin for 3 lives. A letter from John Leslie (May 15th 1840) confirms that Lord Shannon will allow the nomination of a 4th life if one falls (sic) whilst he is alive.
