ROBERT DUNDAS ORR married MAUD ANITA BUCKNALL, 26 Apr 1900 at St. Paul's Church in Knightsbridge, Middlesex (London), England. His profession is listed as Gentleman, as were the professions of both of their fathers (ROBERT ORR and JAMES LOYD BUCKNALL). {NOTE: Im working on fleshing out the Bucknall family - English records vs. Scottish ones are more familiar for me and they all count in the CC7!}. The marriage record image is available on Ancestry.
