of Crawshawbooth
Inherited his mother's land at Crawshawbooth.
States in the Court Roll that he had land in the Maister Yng inWolfenden of yearly rent 2d given to him by his grandfather, HenryHaworth.
In 1559 Henry Barcroft surrendered land in Crawshawbooth of yearlyrent 10/- to Oliver and his then wife Margery for life.
He also surrendered an equal amount of land in Cribden at the sametime to Henry Ormerod - presumably the other brother of Oliver of whomwe hear no more - and the lease of this land also went to Oliver in1562.Henry Barcroft at that date sold his right to all the former Haworthland of yearly rent £3 after his mother's death to various peopleincluding Oliver (3Cb1), his half brother, who got land inCrawshawbooth of yearly rent 29/1.5d and land in the "Calffe HeighLawnde off Cryddene" (i.e. Cribden) and the "Backside of Cryddene" ofyearly rent 15/1.5d.
Thus Oliver got almost half of Lettice's inheritance, but at a price.
He had to pay either rents or mortgages to certain of the wealthiestcopyholders in Rossendale who had apparently advanced money to HenryBarcroft.Oliver may have defaulted on these payments or sold his interest insome of the land.
He and his descendants retained land of yearly rent 10/1d centred on afarm called Heightside east south east of Crawshawbooth which he hadobtained in 1559 on what is now a lane leading from Constablee toCrawshawbooth.
This farm is now a ruin.By 1571 Oliver had surrendered three quarters of the Heightside landof yearly rent 10/1d to his bastard son, George.
Buried in 1582.
Will dated 2 September 1582.Oliver's will mentioned only his bastard son, George, and his bastarddaughter, Alice, the wife of Richard Ashworth.
