hello
i came across this message you posted in 2005 regards the ormerod family's link with heap's in lancashire , this may be just coincidence , but i'll share with you what i have found
An ancestor of mine called Thomas Ormerod was born in Haslingden, which is a town just outside of Rossendale about 1823. In the uk census of 1841 Thomas was living with his maternal grandmother Hannah Heap and aunt Betty Heap , but no record of a mother and father . Thomas was married in 1857 and from his wedding certificate i found his father was also called Thomas. The name Thomas Ormerod appears on 6 generations of ormerods in that line from approx 1800 to 1960's and the name James Ormerod appears another 3 times
I have no idea if Thomas had any brothers or sisters or the name of his mother , i suppose it is possible his parents moved to USA and left him behind with his grandmother , but this would have meant they moved before 1841
good luck with your search
regards
paul
