None of them are your William Gore, Colette.

No engine drivers, and all the records are far too recent for someone born 1815.

The records for the two WA Gores in Leeds are from 1899 and 1915; other WA Gores and a WJ Gore are just as relatively recent;
William Gore employed by Midland in 1882, and William Gore of Great Western in 1924.

There's a WM Gore in 1860, but he's a clerical worker.
Gore (no initial) of Bescot is recorded in 1913.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
