[Torrens List] Torrens in co. Clare, Ireland

[Lunney Family <family@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know about these Torrenses? In 1911 John Alexander  
Torrens, b. co. Antrim, was living in the household of his uncle  
Alexander Knox, also b. Antrim, in Ennis, Clare. The uncle was a  
grocer and publican, and his business apparently survives in Ennis as  
Knox's, a popular bar and restaurant over a whole building. John A.  
Torrens may be the father of Desmond Torrens, from Ennis, 'Des' who  
was a very well-known character, an Irish rugby international in the  
1930s, and also a notable golfer; he got to the finals of the South  
of Ireland championship in the late 1930s.
