---> A very long discussion about the Gorron family ...

Source Par Sir Bernard Burke:
"Gorham: The Gorhams came into England immediately after the Conquest; for "W. Filius GoRHaM," occurs in 1086, in Doomsday Survey (II. 441.), at Cippenhall, near Fresingfield, Suffolk.
Their foreign settlement was at, or in the vicinity of, the town of Gorram (now Goron), in Maine, 15 miles N.W. of Mayenne; a fortified place attached to the fief of Normandy by Duke William, shortly before his invasion of England.
Geoffrey De Gorram occurs as early as 922, as witness to a grant to the Monks of Notre Dame de Mars-sur-la-Futaye, at Villarenton (or Villa-Arunton), afterwards called L'Abbeyette (La Bayette, by error, in Cassini's map of France); a small Priory, of which a trace still remains, between Goron and Savigny: but Menage (Histoire de Sable) considers the charter as doubtful.
Another Geoffrey De Gorram (probably the father of Geoffrey, Abbot of St. Alban's, of whom more hereafter) occurs in a grant of undoubted authenticity, at the end of Century XI., or early in Century XII., as being father of
Euello or Rollo or Ralph De Gorram, who, before 1112, gave the perpetual advowson of Brece, four miles from Gorram, to the Priory of Fountain-Gehard, near Mayenne, a Cell to Marmontier Abbey, at Tours. He married Hersendis, daughter of Walter, Lord of Mayenne. He was a benefactor to Savigny Abbey, and was living in 1120. He was probably the father of Robert, Abbot of St. Alban's. His eldest son,
William De Gorram, shortly before, or in 1128, built a new castle on his demesne at La Tanniere (10 miles W. of Gorram), in the parish of St. Berthevin. He gave both his parish Church, and the Chapel of his Castle, to the Monastery of Mount St.Michael, near Avranches, with a plot of ground for the settlement of some monks, one of whom was to perform divine offices at La Tanniere. He married Matilda, by whom he inherited Livare, La Doree, and (probably) La Tanniere. He and his wife granted lands in Livare to the Abbot and Monks of Savigny. He died about 1155; and was succeeded by his son, Giles De Gorram, Lord of La Tanniere, who occurs 1162. ..."

"De Gorram, of la Tanniere in Maine.
Some of this family must have followed the Conqueror into England ; for, at the time of the Domesday survey, " W[illiam] son of Gorram " was a tenant of land in Cippenhall, near Fresingfield, Suffolk, held of Hervey of Bourdeaux. The Breton family, from which the English settlers were derived, may now be traced oiie step higher than the pedigree hitherto given in the Collectanea ; for it appears that Ralph de Gorram, in the year 1100, gave to the Abbey of Marmoutier, in the suburbs of Tours, the Church of Brece, about four miles from Gorram in Maine. He occurs as a witness, about 1112, to a grant of land between Brittany and the Avranchin to Vitalis Abbot of Savigny. He witnessed, about 1120, another grant, to the same Abbot, of land near the wood of Savigny. He married Hersendis de Mayenne, daughter of Walter, Lord of Mayenne, about l090 : she occurs about 1120. ..."

Son père Guillaume, bâtit en ll'iS, le château de la Tannière, d'où Gilles partit pour la croisade avec son frère Jean de Gorram, qui ne revint pas.
