Don't have time to put all the details right now, but JAMES HARPER ORR's father, ROBERT ORR, appears to be the son of ROBERT ORR and AGNES WILSON ORR. ROBERT ORR had the following siblings: MARY ANN ORR, MARGARET ORR, AGNES ORR, JAMES ORR, JANE WILSON ORR, AND ANDREW ORR.

I might have some errors here. Doing some more investigation. I may have conflated two Robert & Agnes Orrs.

Adding what I have from Ancestry for his siblings:

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.
