I tried to send btc and had days go by without it being confirmed. When I check on blockchain.info it says the block is orphaned.

https://blockchain.info/block-index/474623

Is my bitcoin gone now? I've read that it would be added back to the Mempool but does this mean it will be sent again?

The transaction would of been put back in the memory pool. Your coins are defiantly not lost. The transaction will end up in another block as long as you paid the correct fee.

What's the txid?

Once in the memory pool how long would it take to send again? just curious as it happened over 2 weeks ago.

The txid is https://blockchain.info/tx/2a91d81188e09da65099f03f0383ed5547548d72a1ac50fc993bea3cb0ce4917

Not sure why that one hasn't gone through again. Is it possible to resend the transaction?

I'm not sure how to do that. The tx was sent using blockchain.info wallet.

I've never used that wallet, I'm sorry I don't know.
That's the only thing I can suggest is to resend the transaction.

I imported my Blockchain wallet backup into Multibit and it shows that the transaction never happened and the btc is still in my wallet. I sent it to a new address but blockchain.info now warns that it may be a double spend...

I'm glad you resolved it. Told ya your coins wouldn't be lost.
This is not a double spend. Blockchain.info explorer has a bug.

Remember, blockchain.info is not the bitcoin network.
