Although I did not collect this name on the ground I have no doubt it should be Torroboll - it has been erroneously turned into Gaelic - Torboll or Torrboll is undoubtedly a Norse name but the examiner wrote the last syllable so as to read bal insteal of bol. the former being a gaelic - the latter a Norse termination - and given an imaginary meaning to the name - which was turned into Gaelic in the office.

Referred again and Torroboll recommended 10th Sep. [September] 78
