Hey Bill, is your grandmother Elizabeth Tormey who married William Lampson? As I’ve said in a previous response, the Michael Tormey you are looking for is my great-great-great grandfather (whose parents were born in Ireland). In our Ancestry records we have Michael Tormey born abt 1841 (in Ireland, we have parish records of his baptism), married Elizabeth Sheehan (born abt 1851 in NY). In our Ancestry tree we have Michael and Elizabeth having abt 11 children, your grandmother Elizabeth being one of them, my great-grandfather John J being another (Catharine, Patrick, James, Joseph, Francis, Philip, Thomas, Peter and Alice rounding out the other 9). My dad, who has done all of our extensive Ancestry research, also shows William Lampson and Elizabeth Tormey having 7 children: Charles, Harry, Helen, Elizabeth, Margaret, John and Eugene. Do these names ring any bells? Are one of these one of your parents, and indeed your aunts and uncles? If this is the case, we may have found a link! Your grandmother Elizabeth and my dad’s grandfather John J were siblings. Please feel free to contact me and let’s compare notes: kyletormey@gmail.com.
