Letters to Mary Owen (the younger), 1760-1761, Robert Godolphin Owen, 1770-1790, Francis Owen, 1774, Margaret Ormsby (née Owen), 1777-1803, Ellen Owen, 1785-1801, Owen Ormsby, 1785-1802, Mary Jane Ormsby-Gore, 1810-1863, John Ralph and Sarah Ormsby-Gore, 1832-1875, Emily Charlotte Ormsby-Gore, 1844-1876, and Beatrice Ormsby-Gore, 1913-1943, with occasional drafts or copies of their replies. In addition to news of family and high society acquaintances, recurrent topics include elections in North Wales and Cornwall; settlement of financial matters following the death of Mary Owen in 1784; the genealogy of Gorges and other ancestors of the Ormsby-Gores; and the military careers of male family members.

A notebook and loose pedigrees, research notes, extracts, abstracts and transcripts from wills, parish registers, university records, manuscripts and printed sources, and letters mainly to Mary Jane Ormsby-Gore, showing the marital connection between Gorges of Kilkenny and Gore of Leitrim, links with other branches of the Gorges family at Kilbrew, Langford, [Wilts], Wraxhall, [Somerset], Warleigh in Tamerton Foliot, [Devon], Eye and Leominster, and their kinship with Clinton, earls of Lincoln, Crewe of Nantwich, Lane of Staffordshire, Poytnz of Iron Acton, Shirley of West Grinstead and Willoughby of Eresby, [post-1814]-1866. Several of the pedigrees illustrate the descent from Sir Ferdinando Gorges, Proprietor of Maine, New England. The notebook [post-1851] includes the relationship between the Gorges and Dobyns Yate families, an extract of the will of Thomas Gorges, D.D., Prebendary of St Peters Westminster, 1667, and a summarised history of the manor of Knighton Gorges on the Isle of Wight. Other items in the file include a transcript made in 1832 of the will of Samuel Gorges, a Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland, proved in 1686; and scattered references to the Gorges heraldic arms.
