44. 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.
45. George Ormerod
Succeeded to Heightside, later of Newchurch.
On the death of his brother, Oliver, George inherited not onlyHeightside but also half the Oakenheadwood land of yearly rent 21/8dwhich George (6Cb2) had left to George (9Cb1)'s father, George (8Cb1)and his uncle Peter (8Cb1).
In 1740 the Court Roll records that George Ormerod of Heightside,yeoman, for the natural love and affection he bears to his son andheir, Oliver, surrenders his land at Heightside to Oliver subject to awritten agreement between George and Oliver.
In 1739 George had also mortgaged his Oakenheadwood land for £150indicating that he was possibly engaged in trade.
In 1743, apparently having paid off this mortgage, George surrenderedall his Oakenheadwood land to his sons George and Peter.
At a special Halmot Court in July 1751 George Ormerod of Boothfold,dyer, to raise money from John Ormerod of Newchurch, innkeeper, andJohn Haworth of Brockclough, surrendered land at Heightside of yearlyrent 10/- to the latter pair with the consent of Alice, wife of thesaid George Ormerod and Lucy, the wife of George Ormerod the elder andmother of George Ormerod the surrenderor.
It appears that George and his son, George (10Cb1) may have taken updyeing, but this may have been short lived.
By 1750 it appears that these Ormerods had abandoned Heightside andfarming.
