This afternoon I am posting a video clip of a Orr family memorial from Leigh Old Kirk, Paisley.
To read the inscription I first had to clear a heavy layer of moss so this is the first time this memorial has been available to read for many years.
The recumbent memorial is very old and reads:
"This Burial Place is appointed for (Bn?) William Orr and his spouse and their children and grandchildren 1781."
I don't understand the Bn abbreviation which I have placed in brackets. Comments/suggestions will be welcomed.

I have been searching for the Orr family from Paisley. I am in the USA and our ancestors William Orr (b2/14/1772) and his wife Elizabeth Mungall (b8/22/1775)any more information on this family would be wonderful. I am coming to Scotland in 5/2012 Mary Beth Peters.
