St. George Richard Gore (26 March 1812 – 16 August 1871) was a grazier and politician in colonial Queensland, a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly and, later, the Queensland Legislative Council.[1]
Gore was born in Dublin, Ireland, eldest of five sons of Thomas Gore (brother of the 7th baronet, of Manor Gore, Donegal) and his wife Elizabeth, née Corbet.[1] Gore was of the same family as the Earls of Arran.[2] St George Gore was educated by his father and at Trinity College, Dublin (B.A., 1831; M.A., 1834). He was called to the Bar and practiced in London until 1839, having decided to emigrate.[1] Gore, along with brother Ralph Thomas Gore, arrived in Sydney aboard the Bengal in February 1840.[1]
Gore moved to Moreton Bay district (now Queensland); and, settling in the Warwick, Queensland district,[2] was returned to the first Legislative Assembly of Queensland for the Warwick Electorate[2] in May 1860.[3] He was Secretary for Lands and Works in the first Ministry formed under responsible government by Robert Herbert from January to March 1862. Nominated to the Legislative Council on 3 July 1863,[3] Gore took office in the first Arthur Macalister Government as Postmaster-General, and represented them in the Upper House from September 1866 to August 1867.[2] He was again Postmaster-General and leader of the Legislative Council in the Charles Lilley Ministry from January to May 1870.[2] Gore married in 1840 Francis, daughter of the late Edward Coldwell, of Lyndhurst, Southampton, England.[2] Gore died in Warwick, Queensland, Australia on 16 August 1871.[1]
