Hi Alice,
I'm John Christian Torr from UK (but now I'm living in Indonesia). I read your message so I thought I'd say hello. Years ago I spent almost 5 yrs in Oz, living mostly in Broome. Anyway, I came across this web page a week or so ago and I was amazed to see so many torrs! we are everywhere, and I thought the Torr family was in danger of dying out!!!!!! (I am not married - but I ought to be cos I'm 45 yrs old). Are we all related I wonder. I can't imagine that we all come from the one line of Torrs. Torr is the name of a few places in Ireland as well as the name for hill (often spelt with one 'r'). There was a Sam Torr who was a theatre owner and the first man to deal with the then unknown John Merrick (the elephant man), but I too haven't yet come across a famous Torr (perhaps we will be the ones!). Are you planning to be famous?
I have relations in Adelaide who are also Torrs - I stayed with them once many years ago but I haven't kept in touch. My family still live in England, in the southern parts.
I look forward to hearing from you (and all the other Torrs in the world). I'll let you know if I find out anything interesting about us OK.
John
