The Ormerod Branch Thomas Ormerod
Thomas (my 3 x Great
Grandfather) was born in 179 8
in Waddington, Yorkshire. PR's for the Wesleyan Methodist Circuit of Clitheroe
show-
Thomas, son of John and Mary Ormrod of Waddington, in the Parish of Mitton, born
the 16th day of August 1798 and baptised the 16th September 1798. The
ancient parochial chapelry of Waddington in the parish of Mitton comprised the
three townships of Waddington, West Bradford and Grindleton. It was probably
founded and endowed with lands by the Tempests as a manorial chapel, but
disputes having arisen, a composition was made in 1438 between the Abbot and
Convent of Cockersand
( owners of the Parish Church of Mitton and its dependent chapels) , on the one
part and Sir John Tempest, Knight, Lord of the vill of Waddington, and the other
inhabitants of Waddington, Bradford and Grindleton, on the other part, whereby
arrangements were agreed for the regular supply of a chaplain , the enclosure of
the chapel-garth as a cemetery and the maintenance of the chapel as a parish
church.
Thomas worked as a chair
maker.
He married
Jane Moss, in Waddington, Yorkshire on the 7th of July
1821. The entry in the Parish Register reads:-
Thomas Ormeroyd of this Parish and Jane Moss of this Parish were married in this
Church by Bands with consent of the parents this seventh day of July in the year
one thousand eight hundred and twenty one by me Lavis? Jones, Off. Min. In the
