[jennigal923]

I am wondering if anyone has looked at Brian J. Cantwell’s Memorials of the Dead.
I am curious to know if he has any Atkin family grave inscriptions listed ... ?

I am desecended from Gore Atkin, died 1786, Wexford.

Were you looking for a particular Atkin grave?

Any idea how Gore Atkin got his first name? Was there a connection between the GORE family and the ATKIN family that you know of?
(I am researching Gore's from Co.Wexford).

Hello Katherine

It would be great to find my Gore Atkin's grave, he is my x5 great grandfather .

I don't know how or why the name came into the family, the first that it is seen is with my Gore Atkin. His birth date is unknown, but he died 1786. His parents were Walter Atkin (1698 - 1753) and Mary Wady (1705 - 1789), they married 1733.
Gore also had a sister named Jane Gore Atkin (born 1740), and she named a son Gore Atkin Warren. So something, around this time and earlier, caused the family to use the name. I have wondered about it ....

If you google "Gore Atkin", you can find quite a few hits ...

Have a look at this website for a very good history on the

Hummmm ... The Gore Atkin that died 1823 is a puzzle, as I don't see him on the family tree in the link I shared. Wondering, now, where he fits in ?
