Glad i could help Chris

Its sad to here about those who died young, even though it was years and years ago. I always feel a bit sad when I come across a childs death while doing my research.

Happy Hunting, good luck
Mhairi

thanks I've got her,never thought of shortening to cath! kind of sad really I always hoped she had lived a long and happy life because of her Dads tragic end, she died of disease of the spine had it for "years", so could have been disabled much of her life!! very sad but at least I have the answer now, thanks to you

best wishes Chris

Search for

Name - Orr
First name - Cath
Between 1861 - 1871
Year of Birth 1859 +/- 2 years

And there is a Catherine. I think she could be your one

Mhairi

Thanks Mhairi just looked on scotlands people for marions death and found it i've looked before and it never came up, looked for Catherine again still no joy, she's not on any marriage death certs from her siblings that I've seen,, thanks for your help

There is a death of a Marion Johnston, other names Orr and Millar in Paisley.

Have you looked for these on Sotlandspeople?

Have you checked out the Catherine death? Is it the right one?

Mhairi

When did Alexander die? Was he down as a widower or married?

Do you have any of the childrens marriage certs? Is Marion marked deceased?

Hi Mhairi, can't find Marions death' another mystery, in1871 she had remarried to alexander miller and lived 7 maxwelton paisley with her orr children, her 1st husband Robert orr was murdered in1858, 7 months or so before Catherine was born, whose siblings were john, janet, james and margaret and living with marion in1871, she is mirran on census but I am sure its her

Ok scrap the last request

Marion remarried to a Alexander Miller?

There is a death of a Catherine Orr (aged 10) in 1868 in the Abbey Burgh area of Renfrewshire.

Have you checked this death out?

Mhairi

When did Marion die? Who was the informant on the cert?

Do you have any of the siblings marriages? Does Catherine appear as a witness on any of them?

Where do you have the family in the 1871? I can only see one Marion born c1824 in Paisley, living in Glasgow.

Mhairi

Sorry just nudged to top as I am desparate for info as she is such a mystery!! thanks Chris

thanks Betty

Hi Christine,

May be better if you change the heading of your thread to Scottish 1871 census lookup.

Betty

I'm still looking for info. on Catherine Wylie Orr, born july 1859 Paisley, found her living with siblings and mother Marion in 1861 census but nothing afterwards, no death cert or any record the rest of family continued to live in Paisley, any info would be a breakthrough

Thanks chris
