Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Orr Family Edenmore Balteagh
« on: Thursday 18 May 06 13:02 BST (UK) »
Emma,
Tried to send a reply with family tree yesterday but lost both somewhere in the system. However,let us start again with Ellen Orr. She married an Alexander Mark. A daughter,Lily,married a Douglas Long and Elizabeth(born 1943),a daughter of Lily,s married a Mr Legg. They reside in England??Elizabeth has a brother Mark.
My info is that a Willie Orr died,age 25, of T.B
Another member of this family is a John Orr who married a Sadie Lindsay. They resided at Edenmore & then retired to Portstewart. They had no family & are both deceased.
Finally there is a Sam Orr who married Margaret
. A daughter Elizabeth married a John McDonald & they live in Scotland.
The problem is that I do not have the name of the father for these four people. One suggestion is that it was an Andrew Orr,born 1832 who married a Rachael. If so there is another daughter,who married a William Christie in 1872. Another possibility is that all four are the children of John Orr & Mary.J.Lynn or Eliz. Douglas...married twice.
John had sons William,born 1859 & died from pheumonia in 1889,George,died in teens,James,John,Joseph,who married Mary.J.Cassidy(my wife,s line),and Andrew. Had the following daughters Eleanor,born 1870 & married Jos. Rosborough, Jane who died age 16 and Ellen who married John Quigley.
Is this enough to start with.? I can let you have a full family tree if you wish to let me hav eyour e mail address.
Best Wishes in the meantime... Victor
