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.

Thank you so much , have correct spelling and a location and husbands first name is a huge help :)

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)-

thanking you Lorraine

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.
-
Thank you so much it has been a great help , The family pet name for one of the Girls Essie and the younger generations never knew her real name .
Catherine would be Katie and they seem to have left Sara out .
so once again thank you so much for your
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.
-
Thank you for all you help , getting the correct names for the famales is a great help .
;D in the right direction .

The Samuel Orr, son of William and Esther(Boyd), is my grandfather. He married Annie Platt, they has 6 children, Esther, Kathleen, Cecil, Samuel (my father), Nan and William. Samuel Orr and his brother, Robinson James, lived in Belfast while working as carpenters on the Titanic.

Dee,
I am not sure what you are looking for but Samuel Orr married Annie Platt in Ballyarnett Presbyterian Church, Londonderry on 26 Dec 1907.

Lorraine, I do have some info on Alexander, he married Florence Ramsey in 1925, they had 7 children. I got started on this a month ago, I knew the family from my grandfather down but none of his siblings and their families etc. I recently re-conected with Robinson James' greatgrandson (same name as me)(we're both in Canada). It's slowly coming together, thanks for the info
