I AM hoping readers can help me to contact relatives of Major William Ormsby Gore, a landowner from Derrycarne Dromool in Ireland in about 1831.
I am hoping if there are any surviving members of the family that they still have in their care the rent books and other documents which relate to the land they owned in County Mayo.
My great great grandparents Matthew Cosgrove and Mary Tully were tenants of Major Ormsby Gore.
I understand from the Irish Library that the family retained all the records which related to all lands they owned.
I know there are surviving members of the family. Can anyone help me contact them?
