Includes NotesNotes for William Chichester: Baron O'Neill, of Shanes Castle in the County of Antrim, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1868 for Reverend William O'Neill. Born William Chichester, he succeeded to the estates of his cousin William O'Neill, 3rd Viscount O'Neill (on whose death the Viscountcy and Barony of O'Neill became extinct) in 1855 and assumed by Royal license the surname of O'Neill in lieu of Chichester. Lord O'Neill was the great-great-great-grandson of John Chichester, younger brother of Arthur Chichester, 2nd Earl of Donegall. The latter two were both nephews of Arthur Chichester, 1st Earl of Donegall and grandsons of Edward Chichester, 1st Viscount Chichester. As a descendant of the first Viscount Chichester the present Baron O'Neill is in remainder to the Barony and Viscountcy of Chichester and, according to a special patent in the letters patent, the Earldom of Donegall, titles held by his kinsman the Marquess of Donegall. Two other members of the O'Neill family have been elevated to the peerage.
