I am not clear what it is you want to know .
The death was in 1992 (3) September quarter and he was aged 66 having his birth date as 8/7/1826 registered at Chelmsford. Reference : Volumn 9 Page 1823
To find out any more you will have to send for his death certificate.
Regards Amber39

I have found a marriage between a Wilfred Orr and a Vera R. Head in 1948(2) in Braintree and two Orr births with mothers maiden name Head : one male in 1951(3) and a female in 1954(4).
I am sorry I cannot give you their names but we are not allowed to give names on Roots Chat of people who may be still living.

Hi William
I am Wilfreds daughter Karen, My mum Vera is still alive, she is 99.

Hi Karen,
Sorry for not responding to your message, I have only found it today.
Never seen a notification of the message. So glad to hear from you.
Hope you and your family members are doing well.
Lovely to read your mum was 99.
The reason I was asking about your dad, was your grandmother.
Mary Jane, was she nee Parsons ? Was searching for so long about.
Wilfred was a cousin to my dad Archie Ballance, his sister was Madge.
I think the last time I saw your father was at her funeral.
Hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Billy.

Hi Billy
Great to hear from you, I’m sure I do remember you, did you have a sister also called Madge?
Vera passed away last year, shortly after her 100th birthday, so there is only me left now.
Would love to get in touch, are you still in Belfast?

Hi Karen,
Nice to hear from you, am sorry to know that Michael,mum and dad
has passed away. I did read the notices, your mum was well loved and liked.
Was surprised to read that Michael died at a young age.
Your correct I do have a twin sister Madge, younger brother Bobby.
Alan passed away July 2024.
If I can ask, did you get a private message I sent? Only became I didn’t
get any notification of posts you have sent.
Will send you a pm. I married and left Belfast the same day in1974.
Now living in Shropshire. Take care and will look forward to hearing
from you. Billy.
