Biography
Ormsby-Gore was the only daughter of John Ormsby-Gore, 1st Baron Harlech. She married first, in 1863, Hon. Lloyd Kenyon (1835–1865), son and heir of the 3rd Baron Kenyon. He died before his father, and their only child, also named Lloyd Kenyon, succeeded his grandfather as 4th Baron Kenyon in 1869. She re-married, in 1880, Rev. Thomas Bulkeley-Owen, who died in 1910.
She displayed a keen interest in researching Welsh cultural movements, and wrote a memorandum on the history of Maelor Saesneg for the Welsh Land Commission in 1894. She was awarded the bardic title of Gwenrhian Gwynedd.{{cite DWB|id=s-BULK-KAT-1845|title= BULKELEY-OWEN , FANNY MARY KATHERINE|accessdate=22 March 2016}}
