It was quite common for early settlers/convicts in Australia to adopt a surname from the area they departed from - like a creek or river from their hometown. It makes it very difficult to trace your heritage.

My uncle looked up our family tree years ago and discovered that when my ancestors moved to Perth from Norway they changed the name from Torensen to Thorson. Don't know why though. The SEN is Norwegian and SON is swedish.

and in my family there have been a few Thors, Thores and Tors. One of my brothers middle names is Thor as well.
