Shopkeeper
Lots of baptisms of John Ormrod in Bury 1775-1783: 1775 to Richard, 1778 to John, 1782 to Jonathan & Jeremy, 1783 to Peter- Ancestry . He could be any of these, but very unlikely the last 2 as he married in 1801 !
Maybe irrelevant . A Henry Ormrod married Mary Elton 19/5/1783 in Rochdale, Lancashire -FMP

:John & Margaret had 2 children: Frances Isabella Ormrod 1803 & John Hopwood Ormrod 1806 baptised in Wesleyan faith, Bury & then, maybe- but surely must be- as Hopwood is given as the middle name in John's grandson 1845,
1816 Henry Ormroid was baptised 13/6/1816 to John & Margaret in Padiham Wesleylan Chapel - FS . Padiham only~ 3 k W of Burnley but well N of Bury Slightly odd thing about this is that no Marsden recorded in his name . Also actual image on Ancestry but no occupation shown for John!: but then he is referred to as a Gentleman on the 1837 m.c. of his son Map
1816-1841 No burial found on FMP, FS
1832. John Ormrod , 60, thus b.1772, of Bank Shell, Burnley - image available on Ancestry - was buried on 19/12/1832 in Burnley : this could well be he, but John Ormrod was a common name, maybe more so in Bolton though than Bury
