The Ormerods of Ormerod

Notes


George Ormerod

of Gambleside

George stayed at Gambleside, inheriting his father's land here.
When his childless uncle, Oliver (1,1), died, he also inheritedOliver's lands - although both inheritances may have been as a resultof now lost wills.

From the information available it is not possible to say definitelywhether George or his brother John were the elder.
It is also not certain that George (2,1) was the son of George (1,1).He might have been the son of his brother, Oliver.

George (2,1) was married at least twice.
There was a George Ormerod, with a wife named Isabel, holding land ofyearly rent 30/- in Reedley Hallows in the adjacent Manor ofIghtenhill up to 1527-30. He may have been George (2,1) or one of theOrmerods of Ormerod.

By 1530, when George's two sons, John and George, were adults, Georgewas a widower.
He then married Lettice, a daughter and coheiress of Henry Haworth ofCrawshawbooth, and the widow of Henry Barcroft of Reedley Hallows.

Oliver Ormerod

Original research by Ian Ormerod had no mention of this child ofOliver's.
The reference to this Oliver was found in the Newchurch parishregisters.
It is possible that Oliver 'of Deine' has been misidentified as Oliverof Foxstones.

This is disputed by Milton Ormerod, who records James Folds asmarrying Elizabeth, daughter of Lawrence (9O1).
