John Ormerod

Gentleman

His will was proved in 1789, and left his daughters £500 apiece.
The Gambleside estate had to be mortgaged to pay these legacies.

The legacies of the two youngest had still not been paid when theironly brother died about 1810.


Lawrence Ormerod

Baptised on 16 February 1713/14 at Cowpe.

Mentioned in the will of John (8Cp1) of Edgeside.

According to the court roll in 1748 'Lawrence, the son of GeorgeOrmerod of Whitewellbottom' became a trustee for the purchase of aplot of land there for a meeting house for baptists.
This group soon moved to Goodshaw.

Lawrence had eight children, but none were baptised as infants.

By 1780, when the death of his wife, Alice, was recorded in the familybible, Lawrence is described as of Greenfold - a farm about a third ofa mile due east of the old baptist chapel at Goodshaw, not beneathGreenfold reservoir.

It is suggested by Milton Ormerod that Lawrence's age at death wasentered incorrectly in the family bible, to cover up the fact that hewas born only days after his parents' marriage.
