Hi everyone - newbie here & 1st post! Never used anything like this before, so hopefully I make sense, and someone can help. Just beginning to trace family history, and don't know very much on my mum's side. Her grandparents were Thomas & Barbara Orr. Thomas may have been born around 1890. They lived in a house called the Mount in Belfast, and had 13 children. My Nana (mum's mum) was the youngest of these 13 children. If anyone has any information at all on the Orr family - I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading. Ladybird

You might want to search for the family in 1911 census:
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search
In 1911 Thomas and Barbara are living in Kingscourt St. with 4 children and have been married 6 years.
P.S. welcome to Rootschat.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for
some time
many years!

Thank you
Can anyone please recommend websites for searching for Irish family history - that wont cost a fortune per record? I'm interested in anything which will help me trace back from Thomas Orr & Barbara McKay.
Thanks in anticipation of your help
