Peter Ormerod

of Oakenheadwood & Dublin

Peter shared the Oakenheadwood land left by George (6Cb2), hismaternal grandfather and, like the latter and his brother George, hebecame a clothier.

By 1693 he was mortgaging his Oakenheadwood land to his father,Oliver, who acted as surety for a debt of £186 to Lawrence Hey ofBradford, mercer.
By 1706 he was mortgaging the same land for £300 to a Peter Robinsonand by this time was described as 'of the City of Dublin' and soremained in later entries in the Court Roll.

It is more likely that Peter moved to Dublin as an exporter of cloththan an importer, for Ireland was a net exporter of woollen and, ofcourse, linen cloth.

By 1727 it was reported that Peter had died and that the Oakenheadwoodland had been inherited by his heir, George (9Cb2) of Dublin.


George Ormerod

Oliver Ormerod

Became the heir to his grandfather's Heightside land and elected himas his guardian in the Halmot Court.

He scarcely survived to adulthood, but made a short will, andHeightside was inherited by his younger brother, George (9Cb1).

The following entry in the Haslingden Parish Register appears to referto the burial of a child of this Oliver:
"26 Apr 1678 A little ch. of Ollyver Ormerode de Heightside.."

Buried around 1713.
Will proved in 1719.
