Derek, it's good to see you on here again. Frankie and I made contact last
year and swapped a lot of information but there is still much for her to
get. My grandfather, Robert Archibald son of James Archibald and Elizabeth
Torrens and her grandfather, James Archibald were brothers. James's eldest
daughter was my mother's namesake, Elizabeth Torrance Archibald. Funnily
enough I knew about her birth from the Scottish Birth Index years before I
knew the details of the connection. She was born in Dundee, not Greenock,
and I knew from the name there had to be a connection. It's interesting
that the Torrens has become Torrance when they were in Scotland. I can
always remember my mother telling me that she was named after her
Grandmother, Elizabeth Torrens but I could never understand why they changed
the spelling to Torrance.
Best wishes,
Robert
