Title: Orr family Lochwinnoch
Post by: Pozzo on Wednesday 25 December 13 22:11 GMT (UK)

Does anyone have any info about the Orrs of Millbank. An ancestor of mine was Jean, daughter of Robert Orr of Millbank, Lochwinnoch (who was imprisoned at Stirling Castle 1684-5 for refusing to take the "Test"). I would like to find out about his ancestry.

I have many in my line but much later. However, I do have this link I saved, its accuracy is uncertain.

Many thanks Don for responding although I had already seen that link. The trouble is that almost everyone in Lochwinnoch seems to have been called Orr. I am hoping sometime to get to see Andrew Crawford's "Cairn of Lochwinnoch" which might help to sort some of them out.
