Mervyn O'Gorman
Mervyn Joseph Pius O'Gorman (19 December 1871 – 16 March 1958)〔 was an English electrical and aircraft engineer. After working as an electrical engineer, he was appointed Superintendent of what became the Royal Aircraft Factory at Farnborough in Hampshire in 1909. In 1916, following a scandal over the quality of the aircraft used by the Royal Flying Corps, he was removed from this post but continued to act in an advisory capacity. After the war he concentrated his energies on motoring issues, particularly road safety and traffic management, and played an important part in the publication of the Highway Code. He died in 1958 in Chelsea, London.
==Birth and early life==
Mervyn Gorman was born in Brighton on 19 December 1871,〔Index of births, 1871, 4th quarter, Brighton, volume 2b, page 252.〕 the son of Edmund Anthony Gorman (1821-1912) and his third wife Margaret Eliza Barclay Crawford (1849-1899). Later in life, Mervyn resumed the O' prefix to his surname, which had been dropped by his Irish greatgrandfather Thomas O'Gorman (1724–1800) after he moved to England in 1747.
Different sources give various addresses for Mervyn's father: East Bergholt, Suffolk;〔 Harrogate, Yorkshire; and Monamore, County Clare, Ireland.〔Both Crawford and O'Gorman pedigrees in O'Hart's The Irish And Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry, When Cromwell Came to Ireland.〕
