High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Torrens was born at Cork, Ireland, in 1814. His father, Colonel Robert Torrens, F.R.S., the distinguished economist, was one of the founders of South Australia. Sir Robert Torrens was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated M.A. He went to Australia in 1839 and in the same year married Barbara, widow of Augustus George Anson. In February 1841 he was collector of customs at Adelaide, and it is probable that he had received this position directly he arrived. In the enlarged legislative council elected in July 1851, Torrens was one of the four official nominees nominated by the governor. When "responsible government" commenced in October 1856, Torrens became treasurer in the ministry of Finniss. He was elected as one of the members of the House of Assembly for the city of Adelaide in the new parliament, and on 1 September 1857 became premier, but his government lasted less than a month.
