Title: Elspeth Welsh Brown Orr
Post by: dbray220 on Monday 29 September 25 16:32 BST (UK)

Hi, could anyone help with any information about Elspeth Welsh Brown Orr.
I am helping a friend and the only information he has given me is that she was born in 1917, married Thomas Noble McClean Herriot in 1937 and they lived in Edinburgh
Any help on either parents would be appreciated
TIA

Scotland's People has the birth index of an Elspeth Welsh B Orr, 1919, St Giles R.D.

Having a few credits which will soon pass their "use by date" I had a peep at her birth certificate.

Father George Peter Orr, Distillery Labourer, mother Lizzie Welsh Orr, maiden name Brown
