I note that you have been pursuing this line for several years.
A general search for "james orr-ewing" or "sir james orr-ewing" does not bring up any results, apart from your previous postings.
===================================
There is an Eliza Sarah Williams Birth registered in Holborn London 1876 - but in itself, no guarantee that it is the lady you are looking for-

I haven't found her in the Migrations list on the above site.
===================================
There is a James Robert Orr-Ewing Marriage on FMP; but in 1910, so apparently too late for rhe other aspects.
===================================
The James Alexander Orr-Ewing on this page may or may NOT be herr husband-

The date of his Death does lend itself to the building of the house; possibly a reason for it - and the lack of children.
===================================
Scotland's People has the following James Births from 1855 to 1880, Banffshire-
1 1858 EWING JAMES M FORDYCE /BANFF 153/00 0027
2 1872 EWING JAMES M ENZIE /BANFF 152/00 0027
3 1873 EWING JAMES OGSTON M FORGLEN /BANFF 154/00 0005
===================================
You mention the brother-in-law, it may be worth pursuing him in detail, so leading to the ancestral family line.
I haven't found any apparents candidates for the niece.
