According to Warren researcher, Norma Kirchhofer:
The father of William Warren, who ultimately became first earl of Surrey, was also called William but he was never earl of Normandy but rather Count of Varenne. There were no earls in Normandy although the title of count is of similar status and is an exact dictionary translation. The first earl's grandfather was Walter de St. Martin and his g.grandfather was Herstafus & his father was Rollo A Danish Knight.
There was another pedigree circulating some time ago which gave the father of William Warren (1st. earl of Surrey) as Rudolph, whose father in turn was supposedly Hugh, Bishop of Coutances. To the best of my knowledge this has long since been disproved by the charters of Rouen which are presently kept in the National archives.
William was also called Guillaume de Varennes. He married UNKNOWN de Torta before 998.
