Good to hear from you.
Re my prior--we have become very close to the Christopher Tormey (dec 1982) family in Tyrrellspass. We consider his widow Brigid to be part of our family. We've visited her several times and our adult children when visiting Ireland, have met her and keep in touch with her. We are aware of the victualer Tormeys in West Meath but have not met them. As previously said, we visited the Archerstown-Clonmellon area and after stopping by to see the pp, Sean Garland, he directed us to stop by Jimmy Fagin's house in Archerstown. Jimmy was/is quite a character and tried to fill us in on Tormeys who were historically living in that area, but we gained little from it. On two occasion, prior to visiting Ireland, I posted letters to the editor of the West Meath Examiner stating that we'd be in that area, and asking anyone with knowledge of Archerstown Tormeys, to contact us. To no avail.
Not unusual in genealogy, but always disapointing.
