Are you sure of your dates? ???

On the IGI, I found a WILLIAM ORR who married an ESTHER BOYD on 10 Nov 1874 in Port Glasgow, Renfrew.

If you get this marriage cert from SP, then you’ll be able to see both his and her parents’ names. 

Also on IGI:

Sarah ROBISON (note spelling) married WILLIAM ORR on 16 Sept 1845, All Saints, Donegal, Ireland.
Genealogists don't die, they just lose their census.

IGI (www.familysearch.org) lists 1 child of William Orr and Esther Boyd-
Eliza Ann born 17 Mar.1878 Londonderry, Co. Londonderry
LDS Pilot Site lists another daughter- Sarah born 14 June 1880 Derry City

William Orr and wife Esther here in 1901-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/South_Ward_No__2_Urban/Mountjoy_Street/1528629

1911 Census has a child named Esther Boyd Orr as a daughter of a Samuel Orr born in Derry City- looks like the Samuel in 1901 census with parents William and Esther (above)-

Robinson Orr, son of William and Esther, here as a boarder in 1911-

I found both the daughters in IGI and LDS Pilot site by doing a parent search. There's probably quite a bi more information you'll be able to get online by searching for all the family members in 1901 and 1911 census, civil registration index, etc.

help

The Irish births in IGI are not complete- the Pilot site is supposed to be but I've had trouble finding people I know were registered.
