James Torney from Ballyscullion
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows about a James Torney who was born about 1865 in Ballyscullion, Ireland.
He came to New Zealand maybe between 1900 and 1914. He died in Hastings, New Zealand 7 September 1945.
He enlisted in the New Zealand Army in World War 1 and his next of kin is shown as his wife a Mrs Torney of Ballyscullion, Ireland,
I was also wondering if he is connected to Hessie Torney who was born in Ireland in 1893 and also came to New Zealand prior to 1914. Hessie is an ancestor of one of my family members and it's always been a family belief that her father lived in the Hastings area. James is the only one we have found in the area.
