Dear List I am after some help please. One of my grannies, Isabella Torrie, married John Livingston 26 Aug 1847, she died 7 Nov 1906 supposedly aged 75 years. Her parents were George Torrie and Catherine MacEachern. I think, George's parents were Archibald Torrie and Jessie McFarlane and Catherine's were Archibald McEachern and Ann Macindeor. Children of George and Catherine - Isabella (mine), Catherine, Archibald, Jean, Nancy, James and possibly Robert (he appears to have two fathers George and Arthur). Does this sound familiar to anyone please? I have a great deal of information on the Torries (various spelling) but can't link very much. I still can't work out when Isabella was born, the date seems to change with every piece of information I have. I can't find any brothers or sisters for George, have I got the right parents for him - going cross-eyed here trying to work them all out. I am also another lurker - was going to suggest we maybe change the name to troll (cos we troll the records hoping to find that elusive rellie!) but don't trolls have an abundance of facial hair and wee stumpy legs? Maybe we could have a competition to find a name for all of us who mostly just read and the first prize could be a framed photo of our leader Ted Larson? Any help on my Torries would be greatly appreciated. regards Karen in Perth, Australia

I'll check my lines and my friend's who comes from the other branch of the McEacherns for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Tregenza" <cuzkaz@gmail.com> To: <SCT-ISLAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 2:06 AM Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] Request for help with Torrie family > Dear List > > I am after some help please. > > One of my grannies, Isabella Torrie, married John Livingston 26 Aug 1847, > she died 7 Nov 1906 supposedly aged 75 years. > > Her parents were George Torrie and Catherine MacEachern.
