Hi, there,
I'm sorry, but I didn't realise how this group works.  I'll try to 
contribute with the hope that I can swap information with other Torrens 
seekers.  It makes my head spin at times, especially when Torrens 
marries Torrens.

My biggest headache at the moment is John Torrens (about 1805 to 
goodness knows when), married to Martha Hill (born around 1810 to 
goodness knows when).  My great-grandfather was their son Thomas Torrens 
(10 Jul 1847 to 25 Sep 1911), and he was a simple farmer with 6 acres of 
land, but the leading trees in Ancestry seem to have him mixed up 
inextricably with another John Torrens married to another Martha, but 
whose surname was Morrison.  To further complicate things, these trees 
have included Hill Torrens, who I see as a natural product of a 
Torrens-Hill union.  The John Torrens (1804 - 20 Sep 1864) married to 
Martha Morrison (1810 - 12 Oct 1891) were rich, educated and privileged, 
having university graduates, while my line was poor.

It's hard with the duplication of names, including patterns of, eg, 
John, Robert, William, Thomas, Agnes, Mary and Martha replicated ad 
infinitum, and I'm just going in circles.

If anyone could help, I'd be eternally grateful.
Regards,
Hazel Paton
