Notes Henry Torre, son of Betty Holme and the Rev. James Torre, became rector of Thornhill and married first, Mary-Ellen and then Caroline-Sarah. His son, Henry Torre (b.1758) married Eliza Cox in 1792, their son was Henry James. The Torre family, particularly the Reverend Henry James Torre (b.1793, son of Henry Torre) eventually took the Holme surname (in the first half of the 19th century) in order to assume the inheritance of the Holme family estate of Paull-Holme, county of York. From the bookplate, it is difficult to discern whether the originator is Henry Torre the elder or Henry Torre the younger.
