Surnames: Orr Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EgC.2ACE/10122.1 Message Board Post: The place of birth of Walter ORR of "Kelso, Renfrewshire" sounds geographically confused. The town of Kelso is in the old county of Roxburghshire, not Renfrewshire. The modern administrative area is called Scottish Borders. Perhaps Jane was a widow when she married Thomas ORR, and her son Walter's birth was registered under the surname of Jane's first husband. When you searched for Thomas' second marriage, did you search right up to 1901?
