Scottish records of the name Torrens
These notes, dated July 1978, on the genealogy of the Torrance Family, are part of a series made by D. Richard Torrance. The copy in my possession is a carbon copy, so is slightly unclear in places. The notes are reproduced as accurately as possible.
If you find these notes of interest, please let me know! Or if you need further clarification, I may be able to assist. Note that I also run a mailing list on Torrens/-ence/-ance genealogy where you will find others who may assist you use the "Join Us" button at top.
This list of records searched is in itself a useful list: many searchers will not be aware of these papers! This list is reproduced as it appears in DRT's notes. Not all records contained any references to the name so these have no link.
In fact the notes include entries which are not included in DRT's list oF records searched. These are appended below the line ----------
