Re: [Torrens List] Torrens in co. Clare, Ireland

[Derek Torrens <sdtorrens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Linde, Thats interesting. There are Knox,s living up the Vow area where 
there was plenty of Torrens Famillies. Its been a while since I done any 
Genealogy and particulary those lines of Torrenses. I will have a look 
through my notes on this family.
My Nephew a year ago or more was Goalkeeper fro Linfield Football Club 
in Belfast, he told me that Linfield was founded by two Torrens brothers 
who lived around Belfast and originally came from Ballymoney, it could 
be the same Torrens family as the ones in Donegal who were all into 
Sports etc.

Thanks for this.

Derek.
