Family History Beginners Board / Sgt William Gamble Orr 1874-1917
« on: Thursday 31 July 14 07:04 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find more information on Sgt William Gamble Orr. I know he was killed in Flanders France. He was married to Robina Orr 1874-1954. His father was Alexander 1846-1911, mother Sarah Moore 1856-1938. His sisters were; Mary Jane 1878-1957; Harriet 1882-1924, Sarah 1885-1945 and Margaret Ellen 1889-1936. He had 1 brother Henry A 1887-1936.
William was the father of my father-in-law, Samuel Orr 1907-1974 who married Elsie Coey 1913-1969.
I am trying to find any other information regarding William Gamble Orr, the only death records I can find, list him as 'killed in action' and I can't find any birth certs etc. It's quite hard to trace from here in New Zealand.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
