Margaret Ethel Orr

This is Margaret Ethel Orr McKinley. 
She was my grandma Gray, (Ruth Lucille Wright's) mother in law. 
She was my Grandpa, Russell Orr McKinley's, mother.  

Margaret Ethel Orr:  She married April 29, 2019 for a short time to: Lloyd Andrews (Born 1884). She gave birth to Russell Orr McKinley Sept 21, 1905 and Kenneth in 1907.  She never acknowledged her marriage to Lloyd and it might have been because she was pregnant when she got married or because it didn’t last.  She then married Albertus George McKinley in 1908. My mom, Carol Marie McKinley Wilson, tried to find out some information about her biological grandfather, Lloyd Andrews but received a letter from her Aunt Mary Louise chastising her for asking.  I have not found a record of any adoption for Russell and Kenneth by Albertus George McKinley. 

She had 2 or 3 more children with Alberus George, Mary Louise McKinley and Merle McKinley and I have a question mark beside a name Albert McKinley.

Margaret Ethel Orr’s parents:  

Father: James Andrew Orr (1858-1942) Union County, Indiana.  He married Margaret’s mother Mary Alice Ardery (1864 in Union County, Indiana and died-1895 and buried West Point Cemetery Liberty, Indiana)
Mary Alice Ardery had 5 siblings: Augusta, Caroline, William, Martha Ann, and James N. Ardery. 

Margaret's Grandfather and Grandmother Paternal: (This is James Andrew Orr's father and mother) Thomas Orr and Martha Agnes Clark.  This is all the farther I have gotten on her fathers side.  

Margaret's Grandfather and Grandmother-Maternal:  James N. Ardery (B. 1971 in Harrison County, Kentucky.  Died 1859 and buried in Asberry Cemetery)  and ?Margaret or Mary Watson (Born 1790 and died in 1867.  Buried in Asberry Cemetery.

Margaret's Great grandfather Maternal: Father to James N. Ardery.  His name was James Ardery also, born 1758 in Ireland. I also have a discrepancy in dates 1748-1824.  Died in 1824 and buried in Nicholas County, Kentucky.  He married Anne Catherine ____ in 1780 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.  So just a note; It’s thanks to James Ardery who is our ancestor that immigrated to the United States sometime before 1824. 

Margaret's Great great grandfather: This is James Ardery's father.  Alexander Ardery.  Born 1725 in Ireland and died in 1779.  Only 54 years old.  He was buried in County Down, Ireland.  There was a note that read: Parish-Aghaderg of Glaskerbeg will probated 1779. 

Great great great grandfather: William Ardery.  Born about 1695  


This is the only other picture I have of my great grandma Margaret Orr (top) with her sisters, Mable and Bessie Orr.  Picture was taken in 1898


These are 2 more pics I found of Margaret Orr McKinley.  I would have gotten these from mom or Grandma Gray.  They are pretty damaged.  I know she was in the Masonic Lodge in Wichita, KS for years.  I remember my mom and Aunt Elizabeth (Merle's wife) going to visit her once.  We lived at 219 Suddarth Street in Liberty MO and then on West 28th street in Topeka, KS.  I can't remember where we lived when they went to visit her.
