Gore was the eldest son of the Rev. Charles Gore of Honbury, Gloucestershire and was the member of a branch of the Gore family that descended from Sir John Gore, Lord Mayor of London in 1624, younger son of Gerard Gore, whose elder son Sir Paul Gore, 1st Baronet, was the ancestor of the Earls of Arran, the Barons Annaly and the Barons Harlech.
