Re: Whence the Gorrys?
In Response To: Whence the Gorrys? ()

The fist reasonable mention seems to be quite late 18th C with 1st Gorry wills in early 19th C - Moore states name 'confined to Peel' however 1st families appear to be in Rushen + Patrick then moving into German.
This would support a migration from Ireland (fishing families ?) - I have no early property records in German - this + the lack of eary wills would lend support to my thesis of an Irish origin.
