Re: [Torrens List] Torrens family in Garvagh
Laurie,
I have a note of a Margaret Torrens, b. 1875 and baptized in Moneydig
Presbyterian church, (near Garvagh) daughter of William Torrens of
Carnroe and his wife Jane Alexander. A Margaret Torrens, age given as
26, presumably the same person, is in the 1901 census in the
household in 1901 of her grandfather Torrens Alexander of Mayoghil,,
near Garvagh. He was aged 90. I suppose it is possible that if
Margaret had fallen out with her parents, that her grandfather might
have looked after her. I have been in touch with a Robert Alexander
who gave me some details of the complicated intermarriages of Torrens
and Alexanders over the years; if you think this might be your
ancestor, I'll scan or photocopy his letter for you. I am not clear
on all the links, which are very complicated, but I think the old man
Torrens Alexander may have been married to Sally Ann Brown; if so I
am possibly related to her, as well as distantly to the Torrens of
Carnroe family, and also obviously somehow to Torrens Alexander,
whose mother may have been Torrens. I'm not working much on these
families now, so I'm rusty; someone else on the list may know the
story better?
