In regards to Janet's email below, does anyone know if Alex Torrie (born about 1852), s/o George Torrie & Mary Currie, who married Isabella Currie (born about 1860/61), d/o John Currie and Isabel Smith, on Aug 1, 1917 is part of this family? I am researching the Curries as part of my McDougall / Smith line. The Currie's lived in Mariposa Twp. initially and Isabella is living in Beaverton by 1946 at the time of her sister's death. Christine Harenberg Washington State A friend of mine just brought me a book "Eldon Connections" by Rae Fleming. I don't know if you already have this info. The Torrey's came to Canada from Islay and Mann sometime between 1832 and 1845. George Torrey must have married twice. His first children, John and Anne, were both born in Scotland, in 1830 and 1832 respectively. His children by his second wife Mary (born 1822 and therefore too young to have been the mother of the oldest two children) were all born in Canada, George in 1845, Catherine, 1847, Rober, 1849 and Sandy, 1850... The wife of John Torrey, oldest son of George, was Anne. John and Anne's children were George; Catherine; Mrs. Kenneth Ferguson (their children included John, George and Charlie); Mary, second wife of George Campbell; Isabel; and John, who married Mary Reid (their children were Alda, Jean, Ruth, Donna and Reid). There is also a picture of John and Anne Torrey, and family, John and Isabel. Regards Janet (Ontario)
