Post by: Jack2227 on Thursday 28 October 10 16:37 BST (UK)

From Houses of Wexford by David Rowe and Eithne Scallan(permission granted)
ISBN; 0-946538-46-8
-------------------------
Laurel Grove, Waddington.
Associated families;; Gore, Handcock.
History;
In  A Parish and it's People (1985) Thomas Butler wrote, " Laurel Grove, erected in 1735 by Gore from the stones of Tullicanna castle, has long been in the possession of the Handcock's."
The Gores are connected to the Gore-Booth family.
The Hancock family. who sold this house in the 1990's, were related through marriage to the Gores.
---------------------------
Saunderscourt, Crossabeg.

In 1730 the estate passed to the Gore's on the marriage of Jane, widow and sole heiress of Richard Saunders, to Arthur Gore, later Sir Arthur Gore who was created Baron Saunders of the Deeps (1758) and then first Earl of Arran of the Aran Islands.
Both he and the second Earl are thought to be buried in a vault in the estate chapel.
--------------------------------------
Springwood, Ballymitty.

According to Butler, the house was built by Gores," over 300 years ago".Gore being an english name, it is probable that it was introduced to this area in the seventeenth century.

Hello Jack,
You write "In 1730 the estate passed to the Gore's on the marriage of Jane, widow and sole heiress of Richard Saunders, to Arthur Gore, later Sir Arthur Gore". It's usually said that it's the daughter of Richard Saunders who married Arthur Gore; do you have any other evidence? Or is this just a slip?
Regards,
Jamie.

Hello Jamie,

The quote is as written in the book, and I would have no further evidence to question the facts as they are written.
