  • Hi,

    I was recently on Tory Island and met with Bridget McGarvey.  She was very helpful.  

    I recommend that you contact her with your query.

  • There's a book called The Tory Islanders - A people on the Celtic Fringe by Robin Fox.  It actually has a family tree of the people of Tory going back a few hundred years.  Your relative might be in it if you can find a copy.  I have one but I'm away from home at the moment and won't be home for a few weeks.  My grandmother was Catherine "Kitty" Rodgers and she is in the book.

  • Thanks for thr information.  I just ordered a copy of the book and should have it in a couple of weeks.  Even if it doesn't help me maybe it can help someone else!
