Irene Ellen Andrews nee Torrance
« on: Monday 25 October 04 20:52 BST (UK) »

This is a real longshot!  My Great Aunt Ellen Irene Torrance (although I believe she was known as Irene) married a New Zealand Serviceman, who was in WW1, his last name was Andrews.  Apparently they emigrated to New Zealand (Aukland and/or Wellington) and had 3 children Phylis, Joan and Bill (I assume he was actually called William).  Bill was taken prisoner in WW2 and on his release visited a cousin in England and introduced himself as her cousin.  Unfortunately this is all the information I have on their lives together.
Do you think there could be someone out there who could help Huh Undecided
Many thanks
