Gore baronets

There have been three baronetcies created for members of the Gore family, all in the Baronetage of Ireland. All three titles are extant. The family also holds two earldoms and a barony.

The Gore Baronetcy, of Magherabegg (or Manor Gore) in the County of Donegal was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 2 February 1622 for Paul Gore (shown also as 1st baronet of Manor Gore, the Anglicized version). The fourth Baronet served as Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer and as Speaker of the Irish House of Commons. The fifth Baronet represented County Donegal in the Irish Parliament. The sixth Baronet was a prominent military commander. In 1764 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Gore, of Manor Gore in the County of Donegal, and in 1768 he was further created Viscount Belleisle, of Belleisle, in the County of Fermanagh. In 1772 he was further honoured when he was made Earl of Ross, in the County of Fermanagh. All three titles were in the Peerage of Ireland. However, Lord Ross had no surviving male issue and the peerages became extinct on his death in 1802, while the baronetcy passed to his nephew. The present holder of the baronetcy lives in Australia.

The heir apparent is the present holder's only son Timothy Milton Corbet Gore (born 1969).

(Earls of Arran since 1762)

The Gore Baronetcy, of Newtown in the County of Mayo, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 10 April 1662 for Arthur Gore. He was the 2nd son of the 1st Baronet (1622 creation). His great-grandson and namesake 3rd Baronet, was in 1762 elevated to the peerage as Earl of Arran.

A notable family member was Cecilia Underwood, Duchess of Inverness. She was born Lady Cecilia Letitia Gore (c. 1785–1873) and was the illegally married second wife of Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, a younger son of King George III.
