@patriciawenzel3871 In fact, the titles became extinct with the death of the 4th Earl in 1891 who died without a male heir. Nothing to do with the end of the British Empire and all to do with sex discrimination. The estate was passed down through the female line.

@Alfieruben-j1l Perhaps check the Wikipedia entry for the 4th Earl...? No reason why RoI should recognise the title or status.

@Littleonesmicrosanctuary In fact, Wikipedia has the same information as Debretts, Burkes and The Peerage. On his death in Nov. 1891, William Henry Hare Hedges-White, 4th Earl of Bantry the Earldom of Bantry and his other titles became extinct. It's interesting to note that an honourable number of their ancestors are ordinary Irish people.
