    While looking at my own family tree i saw that you have my great-grandparent May Johnson who was born on 13 May 1894 (you have her as born circa 1895). I believe she died in Blackpool on 19. 5. 1981. The E-mail from Martin Johnson (S666) says that he had heard that she had lost an arm and was banished but that's not quite right. May married my great grandad John Hunter in 1916 shortly before he went off to fight in the Somme. A few weeks later he was injured and it was he that lost an arm and in effect became dependent to a large extent on May. They had three children (Mona 18. 1. 18 my wonderful Granny, Stanley and Joyce). Both Stan and Joyce are long dead but Granny is still with us at nearly 94 - fit as a flea physically but unfortunately not so good mentally due to alzheimers. When I was younger she used to tell stories about May who had by all accounts become a very bitter woman with a foul temper. In the end she and John Hunter were separated and despite being born in 1968 I never met May. My understanding was that May quarreled with most members of her family and that was why she was in effect banished. It is also why I thought she was an only child until I started the family tree!

William Orr1

M, #1691, Deceased, b. about August 1846, d. estimated 1920

Parents

Biography

  • William Orr was a Farmer/Miller.2,3
  • He was born about August 1846 in Rothbury, Northumberland, England. Research Note: There are Birth records for William Orr of Rothbury in both 1845 and 1846. Also a Death record for William Orr of Rothbury in 1845 2Q. The likelihood is that the first William died and the next in line was also called William. However William Orr the father died in April 1845 and William 2 was not born until 3Q of 1846. This raises some questions about either the records, or William 2 parents. An interesting thing is that the 1851 census lists William 2 as the son of Joshua Tennant. Other censuses label him as stepson.4,1
  • He married Sarah Young on 14 February 1885 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.)5
  • He died estimated 1920 in Morpeth, Northumberland, England. This is a possible reference to the death of William. Though registration is at Morpeth.6

Biography

  • He was born about May 1845 in Rothbury, Northumberland, England. Research Note: There are Birth records for William Orr of Rothbury in both 1845 and 1846. Also a Death record for William Orr of Rothbury in 1845 2Q. The likelihood is that the first William died and the next in line was also called William. However William Orr the father died in April 1845 and William 2 was not born until 3Q of 1846. This raises some questions about either the records, or William 2 parents. Did William (1) ever exist?1
