Re: [Bann Valley] Torrens/Archibald connections

[Derek Torrens <sdtorrens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frankie, Im the freind Linda Gilmore has just mentioned, The Samuel 
Torrens of Coolneman who married Elizabeth Henderson (nee Gilmore) was 
my G,Great Grandparents.
Their daughter Elizabeth went to Scotland and married her neighbour 
James Archibald.
Have you been in touch with Robert Morrison ??  He is or was on this 
list, he is descended from James Archibald and Eliza Torrens.

It was only through the Will of Samuel Torrens that I was able to find 
out he even had a daughter Elizabeth , she was mentioned as Elizabeth 
Archibald and I had a lot of fun finding her marraige in local Church 
Records, Eventually I gave up only to be contacted about 2 Months later 
by Robert Morrison. Thats when he informed me that they were Married in 
Greenock.


So it looks like you would have been a 2nd cousin to my late Father and 
my 3rd cousin.

Welcome to the List. If you like I could send you more information, you 
can contact me at sdtorrens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Wishes,

Derek Torrens.
