I did not see a William with a mother Mary.
The 1861 household that William is living in with his grandparents James and Margaret has Elizabeth as mother but there is a Mary Orr, her sister age 46. Possible!! It would be nice to see the original.
In 1871 He is living with Uncle Robert and wife, Elizabeth is there but not Mary?
Interesting

Strange!
There is a marriage in 1858 for a Mary Orr age 20 and a William Stirrat age 24.
Mary's parents are Robert and Elizabeth
The minister was John Orr
One of the witnesses was Margaret Orr
William Stirrat was a iron miner
I don't think they are all together on any of the census, due to their ages at time.
Mary and William are both listed as living at Main Street. Mary is a Domestic servant.

If William is the son of this Mary Orr, where on earth did she put him.
I don't suppose there is a child William death registered?

Hello,
I cannot find a marriage for William Stewart Orr and Annie Craig.
Looking at the age of John Benson ( Orr ) it would have been within a few years 1876 to 1879.
If William was born abt 1857.
On the 1881 Scottish census there is a William and Ann with 3 young sons, but William was born abt 1847 and Ann abt 1857.
William was born in Kilbirnie and Ann in Ardrossan.

Now you need the immigration record for William, Annie and family.
If someone can take a look for 1885.
