Elspeth Welsh Brown Orr
« 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.

Saint Giles
Elspeth Welsh Brown Orr, born 5 Jun 1919, 10.15 pm, address 38 Fountain Bridge.
Father George Peter Orr, Distillery Labourer, mother Lizzie Welsh Orr, maiden name Brown
Date of marriage 19 Jul 1918 Edinburgh
