Ormandy further info. and clues ORMANDY further info. and clues
Last updated 30th December 2008

Here are some items I have collected from various sources, including references to web-sites which contain, or could potentially contain, Ormandy-related information.

Auckland City Libraries

This site at www.aucklandlibrary.co.nz includes a family history section (point cursor at 'explore' then select Family History). There are several databases including electoral roles and passenger arrivals. There are Ormandy entries there (in September 2003) but I've not yet extracted them.

Australian National Archives

"The National Archives promotes good government recordkeeping and encourages community awareness and use of valuable Commonwealth records in its care. We have galleries, a reading room and offices in Canberra and a reading room and offices in each State capital and Darwin."

I visited this site in August 2006 and used the record search for Ormandy (25 results) and Ormondy (none). Here are the results - physical access to the records is required to get further details.

Australian World War 2 nominal role

National Archives of Australia has established a World War Two Nominal Roll web site at http://www.ww2roll.gov.au 'created to honour and commemorate the men and women who served in Australia's defence forces and the Merchant Navy during this conflict'. The site 'contains information from the service records of some one million individuals who served during World War Two'. When I looked (in November 2002) I found records for 5 Ormandys:

Australasia BMD exchange

https://sites.rootsweb.com/~ausbdm is the Australasia Births, Deaths and Marriages Exchange with the aim 'to provide genealogists with a free resource to share information about details contained on civil and parish records registered in Australia and civil records registered in New Zealand'. The site also has links to similar exchanges for other countries. In May 2002 the search facility produced 3 Ormandy entries:
ORMANDY Grace Victoria death 26MAY1966 Koondrook Victoria Australia
ORMANDY Lewis Rigby Mercer death 03JAN1966 Koondrook Victoria Australia
ORMANDY Winifred Mirian birth 11SEP1889 Christchurch New Zealand
(thanks to Elaine Marshall)

Birth, Marriage and Death Records

I'm not planning to record all the Ormandy BMD records that I collect, but may add a few here. However, here are some web sites that publish such data:
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/. "The FreeBMD Project's objective is to provide free Internet access to the Civil Registration index information for England and Wales." The site, which is not yet complete, contains index information for the period 1837 (1st July) -1983. Lots of Ormandy data, mostly submitted by Fred Sedgwick.
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/. "Links to all known web sites that offer indexes and information about UK Births, Marriages and Deaths." Includes links to sites that have lists of BMD certificates (including naming both partners for marriages) and provides an easy way of purchasing copies - lots of Ormandys on the Cheshire (http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk) and Lancashire (http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/) sites. A new version of the site went live in August 2003 with links to over 150 web sites.

Bishopwearmouth

http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/~brian.randell/home.informal/Genealogy/genuki/Transcriptions/DUR/BWM1832.html includes a list of Marriages from the Bishopwearmouth (in the NE of England) Registers (1832-1837) compiled by George Bell. I found the following Ormandy marriage in July 2002:
6 May 1833 John Ormandy = Grace Forrester

Bristol & Avon Family History Society South Gloucestershire Burials Index

This index at http://www.bafhs.org.uk/burialindex/burials.htm is taken from work done by the Sodbury Vale Group of the Society as a contribution towards the National Burial Index, which is being published by the Federation of Family History Societies. When I looked in November 2002 there were 3 Ormandy entries:

British Columbia

The British Columbia web site is at http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/index.htm and includes a genealogy/vital events indexes section containing (in February 2003) information about births (1872-1902), marriages (1872-1927) and deaths (1872-1982). I searched for Ormandy on all indexes with the 'approximate match' option which produced a total of 39 results including Ormand, Orman, Omand entries and the following Ormandy/Ormondy death registrations:

Denver Hickman Ormandy, Date 5th February 1923, Age 1, Place Vancouver

Buildings and things

http://www.chadwickg.freeserve.co.uk/poorrate.htm has information from the Wigan General Rate/Poor books 1805/1830/1847/1855/1865 for the Chadwick family. I found it (in March 2002) because my great great grandparents were John and Elizabeth (nee Chadwick) Ormandy. Curiously it includes, from the Poor Rate book 1855, a Joseph Chadwick with an address of Henhams? Bridge, a house belonging to the 'Heirs of S Ormandy?'. I later found that in 1865 the apparently equivalent entry was for Joseph Chadwick with an address of Henhouse? Bridge a house belonging to Michael Wood. Research by Dave Ormandy of Wigan has established that the address is almost certainly Henhurst Bridge which is a canal bridge in Poolstock Lane in Wigan, and a name that refers to the surrounding area - and he is continuing research into this and the Ormandy Houses mentioned in the next item re Margaret Fazakerly (April 2002).

http://www.fazakerly.net has lots of information about the Fazakerly family. It includes the following for a Mrs. Margaret Fazakerly:
'1881 Census: FHL Film # 1341901: Margaret, Age 52, Head of Household, Married, Occ., Boatman's Wife; Res., # 3 Ormandys Huses, Wigan, b. "Mellen" (?), Lanc. Co.'
I just stumbled across this in March 2002.
Then, from Wigan Heritage, thanks to Dave Ormandy: '
If you come into Wigan along Poolstock Lane to Poolstock/Chapel Lane, just after the turning and set of lights (specially for the turning) to the Girobank, opposite De Roma's, there is another right turn to Bithel's scrap yard. This leads to the canal and what was the old Brewery (this building still stands). There is a set of iron steps going over the canal to Westwood. Ormandy's Houses stood there. We have maps in the History Shop showing the position of the houses should you care to come in and view these'
Using the neighbours facility of the 1881 census CD I subsequently discovered that numbers 1 - 32 Ormandy houses were in existence.
The 1851 census (thanks to Celia Bloor) shows a Thomas Ormandy (boat builder) with his wife Frances and 3 children at Ormandy Buildings in Wigan.

http://www.lake-district.com/Cumbria/ld/Services/Estate_agents.htm has a list of estate agents which includes Amboya Ltd at Ormandy House, Crosthwaite, KENDAL, Cumbria, LA8 8BP

The events section of the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust's web site http://www.wildlifetrust.org.uk/berksbucksoxon showed the following for 20th April 2002: Meet: The Ormandy Centre, Church Hill, White Waltham, Maidenhead.
In June 2003 I went to find The Ormandy Centre. It looks like a small community centre - quite attractive. There is a sign which says:

THE ORMANDY CENTRE
In Memory of Raymond H. Oppenheimer
Opened by
The Chairman of the Kennel Club
John A. McDougall M.Chi,F.R.C.S., F.R.C.S.E.
January 19th 1986

Searching for Mr. Oppenheimer on the web suggest that he bred Bull Terriers with the kennel name Ormandy, and a number of trophies carry the Ormandy name.


http://www.glass-uk.org:80/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=393&Itemid=164 is a web site for the Green Lane Association. I found this in May 2008:

"Volunteers needed.

There will be a working day on Saturday 21st April in Grizedale Forest . The day will have to be Saturday to avoid clashing with a large mountain bike event on Sunday.

We'll meet at Moor Top car park (grid ref. SD343965) and use it as the car parking space for the day so as not to crowd out the visitor centre car parks. We'll meet for 9:30 am, have a 10:00 am start and work until 4:00 pm at the latest. Dave Robinson will organise tools and a NPA Landrover from Ambleside Depot.

We'll drive down the forest road through Ormandy Intakes to access the green lane we'll be working on and park vehicles at spot height 189 metres (grid ref. SD341947) and spot height 203 metres (grid ref. SD345953). Forest Enterprise (FE) will provide us with a key for the gate and a permit for the day. They need registration numbers for the permit so please let me know. We won't take every vehicle down there but we'll need six or seven at least."


Castle Garden - America's First Immigration Centre

The web site http://www.castlegarden.org/ 'offers free access to an extraordinary database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. Over 73 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period'. When I looked in February 2006 the site had '10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original ship manifests'. I searched for Orm* and hundreds of records were displayed. There were 2 Ormandys. I also copied some more records I though may be of interest.

Cemeteries and Cemetery Records (worldwide)

The web site http://www.interment.net had '2,977,899 cemetery records across 5,866 cemeteries from around the world' when I visited it in July 2002. I found just 1 Ormandy:
At
Rochdale Cemetery, Lancashire: Ormandy, Ron, d. 3 Feb 2001, Age 91 Yrs Old
In February 2003 there were '3,262,394 cemetery records across 6,758 cemeteries' and two more Ormandy entries:
At Clinton Oaks Cemetery, Tulsa County, Oklahoma: Ormandy, Ron, d. 3 Feb 2001, Age 91 Yrs Old (I've Emailed the site about this apparent error)
At Fairfield Cemetery, Burford Township, Brant County, Ontario: Ormandy, Edith, d. 18 Feb 1893, 31 yrs, 13 dys, w/o George Ormandy


Cemsearch

I last visited this site at http://www.cemsearch.co.uk/ in July 2007. The site holds "databases of monumental or headstone inscriptions from cemeteries and graveyards in Lancashire, including Accrington, Colne, Bacup, Blackburn, Burnley, Little Hulton, Loveclough, Manchester, Nelson, Preston, Salford, Tyldesley, Weaste, Wheatley Lane and Whitworth. Free to search and view, a database of Rossendale WW1 Casualties, Wargrave Photos in Blackburn, Bingley, Birkdale, Utley Cemetries and New Mills and Cowling Parish Churches. Free to search and view Pauper's Graves in Weaste And Peel Green Eccles Cemeteries In Salford Manchester. Free to search and view in Providence United Methodist Free Church, Loveclough. Lancashire, St Bartholomew's Church, Whitworth near Rochdale, St John The Evangelist and Ebenezer Baptist Chapel in Bacup, Wharton Presbyterian Chapel, Little Hulton, Manchester." I found Ormandy entries for Burnley, Preston, Weaste, and have ordered a report for Ormandys in Preston (I'll add the information I get to the burials pages).

Cheshire parish records

The Cheshire Parish Register Project has a web site at http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb. The aim of the project is to make available, in a reasonable period of time, all the information in each of the parish registers of the ancient county of Cheshire. The last time I visited the site was in October 2006 and I found just the one Ormandy entry - for a marriage:

Cheshire wills

Cheshire Records Office has a web site at http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/home.htm and at http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/Wills/ has a wills database - 'the index covers the years 1492 - 1940 and contains 130,000 entries. It covers probate documents proved at Chester mainly for Cheshire residents.' I didn't find any Ormandys when I looked in December 2008 (I searched for surname = orm) but I di notice entries for William (1626) and Thomas (1674) NORMANDY of Appleton.

Circassico

There are several passenger lists at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ruthann/ships/ships.htm
These include the SS Circassico to New York July 16 1883 on which I found the following Ormandys (in November 2001):

Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, From, To
Thos Ormandy, 43, m, lab., Scotland, US America
Jane Ormandy, 38, f , wife, Scotland, US America
Jno Ormandy, 16, m, lab., Scotland, US America
Hannah J Ormandy, 14, f, Scotland, US America
Margt Ormandy, 8, f, Scotland, US America
Mary Ormandy, 6, f, Scotland, US America

(maybe this is part of the ORMANDY family at Parkgate, Arlecdon, Cumberland at the 1881 census)

James Ormandy has told me that Thomas and Jane are his Great Grandparents, and that his Grandparents (Miles Ormandy and Elizabeth Ann Burnhope) emigrated later, about May 1884, from Liverpool according to naturalisation papers filed by their oldest son William. Thomas also arrived at Ellis Island in October 1904 so must have visited England after the death of Jane - he said he had came over originally in 1882 he was 66 by this time and must have missed the year.

From 'Rita's Colorado Genealogy Clues' http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coloradoclues/~coloradoclues (follow the surnames link), the following ORMANDY marriage:

Cowbridge

There is information about Cowbridge in Glamorgan - about 12 miles from Cardiff- at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Cowbridge including directories and cemetery information. In November 2002 I found the following ORMANDY entries:
From Slaters Commercial Directory, 1858-1859, under
Inns and Public Houses:
Green Dragon, Elizabeth Ormandy, Cowbridge
From Post Office Directory, 1871, under Commercial:
Ormandy Elizabeth (Miss), Bear inn & posting house, High street
From a transcription of Memorials at Holy Cross Churchyard, Cowbridge, Glamorgan
In memory of Mary Ormandy who died February 1st 1870 aged 51 years. Also Elizabeth Ormandy sister of the above died September 19th 1872 aged 45 years. Born at Hambrook, Gloucestershire. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away blessed be the name of God".
(note - there is an entry in the National Probate Index for Elizabeth in 1873)
(note 2 - I have added the above together with a photograph of the grave to my Ormandy Burials pages)
From a name index to the book Cowbridge Buildings and People
ORMANDY Elizabeth (Bear Hotel) - page 38
ORMANDY Mary (Bear Hotel) - page 38

From the book 'Cowbridge Buildings & People' published by the Cowbridge Record Society:
The Bear Hotel (page 37) - following information about former innkeepers while The Bear was a coaching inn: 'He was followed by Mary Ormandy from Gloucestershire, and then her daughter Elizabeth'.
62 High Street - Barclays Bank (page 59) - this explains that the building was once the Green Dragon. (It is on the other side of High Street to The Bear, almost directly opposite).

Cumbria 2

http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria is a very interesting site that 'has been developed following contact with people world-wide who share my interest in family history, and want to learn more about the place their ancestors called home. In these pages can be found descriptions of Cumberland parishes from a directory dated 1847, photographs from across the county, both modern and from bygone days, stories of Cumbrian life, maps, biographies of Cumbria's famous and infamous sons, and other material from various sources'.

Following the link to Jollie's Guide, under Jollie's Principal Inhabitants of Cumberland, 1811, I found in May 2002:

Amongst the Principal Inhabitants of Whitehaven in 1811:
Ormandy, Mary, spirit-dealer, Irish-street
Ormandy, Richard, joiner and cabinet-maker, New-street

Amongst the Principal Inhabitants of Workington in 1811:
Ormanday, John, joiner, cabinet-maker, and ironmonger, Portland-sq.

In December 2002, when the marriage index included the counties of Cambridgeshire, Cumberland, Devon, Durham, Essex, Lancashire, Norfolk, Northumberland, Somerset, Suffolk & Yorkshire, I extracted the entries on the site for Ormandy and similar names (e.g 131 entries for Ormandy, 23 for Ormondy). The marriage index entries are on separate pages - the PCC Wills and Marriage Licence entries are below:

http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk 'London, Edinburgh, and Belfast Gazettes are the official newspapers of record in the United Kingdom'. They are now on line, including modern versions and the ability to search World War 1 and World War 2 issues which include medal awards, army & navy commissions, promotions etc., also Land Registry Data, Legal notices re Probates etc. All searchable by name.

When I looked in November 2002 there were Ormandy entries in the modern, WW1 and WW2 sections for Ormandy in at least the London Gazette.

Global Hemp (Yes, honest!)

The Global Hemp website http://www.globalhemp.com/ 'portal to the hemp community' has an item entitled 'Henry Ford, Charles Kettering and The Fuel of the Future', dated 1988, at http://www.globalhemp.com/Archives/Essays/Biofuel/fuel.shtml. This includes: 'During and after the war, the British Fuel Research Board actively researched military and civilian fuels. W.R. Ormandy in 1918 said that alcohol and coal based fuels could replace oil in the post-war period, and Ormandy noted that only five percent of the American grain crop would meet requirements for a blended fuel.' and includes the references: 'W.R. Ormandy, Proc. Inst. Automobile Engineers, 1913-14, p. 49, cited in Monier-Williams' and 'W.R. Ormandy, "The Motor Fuel Problem," Journal of the Institute of Petroleum Technologists, Vol. 5, 1919, p. 33-66'.

Huish Champflower "St Peters" Parish Registers

A trasnscript of these registers by David Cheek is at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pbtyc/H_m_w/Huish_Champ/Index.html and there was 1 Ormandy mentioned in February 2004: John Ormandy was a witness, together with Agnes Jane Farrer, to the marriage (by licence) of Henry James Baker (farmer) and Elizabeth Farrer on 19th September 1883.

Hungary

There is an Ormandy connection with Hungary, even the thought that Hungary is where the name originated. (Try entering the name Ormándy into the On-line Directory Assistance service at http://www.matav.hu/english/index.html). I'll record here the Ormandy/Hungary information I have. A significant connection, of course, is that Eugene Ormandy came from Hungary (he was born Jeno Blau) - I've put information about him on separate pages.

I have a copy of a letter from the General director of the Hungarian National Archives in Budapest to my cousin Bill Ormandy in Canada, written in January 1969. This says:
'... I let you know that among the records kept at the Hungarian National Archives there is no document concerning the nobility of the Ormandy family. All we know from the genealogical literature is that in the middle of the XVIIIth century a few members of this family were listed as noblemen in conscriptions made for the comitats Heves and Vas. (The comitats were administrative units in Hungary in a similar way as the counties in England.)

http://www.pim.hu is the web site of the Petõfi Irodalmi Múzeum in Budapest. I found information about 4 Ormandys (you need to use the form Ormándy in enquiries). There are probably better ways to use the site but this is how I can get to the information: On the home page click on 'Adatbazisok', then the photograph that appears, then on 'Magyar Eletrajzi Index'. Enter 'Ormándy' in the box to the right of 'Nev' and click on 'Kereses'. 4 Ormandys are shown and clicking on each in turn produces further information. My interpretation of this, based on use of a translation web site and some guesswork is as follows - help with a better translation wouild be appreciated!:
János Ormándy (or Ormándi), born Tömörkény, Csongrád vm on 8th April 1872, died Budapest on 18th March 1962. He seems to have been associated with economics and/or education).
Jeno (or Eugene) Ormándy (or Jeno Blau-Ormándy) born Budapest on 18th November 1899, died Philadelphia USA on 12th March 1985. A conductor.
Miklós Ormándy, born Tölgyes, Hont vm on 28th September 1846, died Budapest on 30th November 1911.
Péter Ormándy, born 16. sz. második fele. Seems he was a constable?

I joined the Rootsweb Hungary mailing list to try to find more about the Ormandy name, also to try to learn more about Eugene Ormandy. Joe Jarfas told me that Iván Nagy's 'Families of Hungary' mentions that there were two places called Ormand and likely the few families took their names Ormandi (Ormandi, Ormándi, Ormandy, Ormándy) from them. The earliest mention of the name that Joe found was around the 1480's. Gábor Domonkos told me that he found references to a noble Ormándy family in Heves county in 1755, and several others in Vas county (west partof the country, close to Vienna) - he found further references to the Ormándy family dating back to the 14-1500s - all nobleman or high ranked soldiers. Gábor also said that there is a town in s/w Hungary which is called Ormánd and there is an Ormándy Castle.

The web site
http://www.library.upenn.edu/special/gallery/ormandy/young.html in its' 'Early European Career of Eugene Ormandy' says that he 'was reticent to discuss the origin of his adopted surname, although it is interesting to note the existence of a town in the western region of Hungary called "Ormánd," with which there may have been a family connection. Furthermore, in the Hungarian language, the appended "y" to the word "Ormánd" would translate in English to "from Ormánd."'.

At http://www.mapquest.com/maps/ I found a place called órmánd, Zala, Hungary (south west of the country) also Ormándlak, Zala, Hungary (I think lak means lodge).

Isle of Man

The 'Manx Lawsons & Related Families' web site at http://www.lawsons.ca includes an index of burials which, when I visited the site in July 2002 comprised the records of 7 parishes, and I found 2 Ormandy entries for the parish of Douglas St. George:
Jane ORMANDY 6 Dec 1812
Margaret ORMANDY 21 Jan 1813

'Kings' Liverpool Regiment

The book 'History of the 2/6th rifle battalion 'THE KINGS' Liverpool regiment' lists soldiers in the regiment. Thanks to Tamara Weller I have this entry:
'S. Ormandy
Reg. No. 16234
Joined: 27/05/1918
Prisoner of War: 12/09/1918
Rifleman'
Tamara's additional comment: 'I don't know if these were the circumstances around this particular person becoming a prisoner of war but you might be interested in the entry in the book for this date: At 12.55 am on September 12th orders were received for our Battalion Headquarters to join Headquarters of the 8th KLR; and we were warned that as many as three companies might be required to form a defensive flank north east of Moeuvres. At 3.30 am 'A' company was ordered forward for this purpose, with instructions to form platoon posts in Cemetery Trench, just north of Moeuvres, and to gain touch with the 170th Brigade. At 6pm the enemy counter-attacked on the Inchy-Moeuvres line, and 'A' company, finding itself being outflanked, after hard fighting was obliged to withdraw. In the course of this movement Lieutenant Sage, the Company Commander and a very gallant officer, and seven men were killed, and twenty one men wounded.'


Lancashire Record Office Archives

I visited this site at http://archivecat.lancashire.gov.uk/dserve/ in December 2008. A search for Ormandy produced 91 records, Ormondy 2. Some of the information appears under PRO Archives below. I have added the Marriage Bonds information to my Miscellaneous BMD pages. Thanks to Peter Bowes for pointing out this site.

Liverpool Area RC Marriage Index Home Page

The web site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hibernia/mar/mar.htm contains an index of RC marriages in Liverpool between 1800 and 1900, most after 1850. (It is part of a site called Hibernia which is about 'Researching Irish Family History in the Liverpool Area'.)
I found just one ORMANDY entry in April 2002:
ORMANDY, MARY ANN JOHN SAUL PAT
(Where PAT refers to St. Patrick's church, Park Place, Liverpool 8)
There are several entries for similar names.
Mary Ann is my great great aunt who later married again - to James William Cawthra

Liverpool Directories

There are Ormandy entries in several Liverpool directories of different types. As I now have quite a lot of this information I have put in on its own file which is at http://mysite.freeserve.com/Ormandy/ormandyliverpooldirectories.htm.

Lusitania

From Fred Sedgwick:

Name: ORMANDY, J
VOYAGE:
Departed from New York on 1 May 1915
Arrived in Liverpool, ENG on sunk - never arrived
Accomodations: Crew: fireman
Voyage Notes: sunk by a German submarine torpedo on May 7, 1915 (WWI)
(this can be found on http://userdb.rootsweb.com/passenger - query Ormandy and search then click on view/add notes)

Ormandy, J is also in a list of those on the Lusitania at http://istg.rootsweb.com/v4/1900v4/lusitania19150507.html and on http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lusilist/LusitaniaPassengerList.html, which is particularly interesting as it is an amalgam of data from several sources and identifies those who died and those who survived - in some cases, including J Ormandy, there is no such indication. The site http://www.lusitania.net/passengerlist.htm indicates that there is book in preparation which lists the passengers and crew. However, I received the following response from the Maritime Museum at Liverpool "I am afraid that I still cannot find your ancestor listed in the passenger list and crew list of the Lusitania. I believe the copy we hold is the one published by Cunard very soon after the actual disaster occurred. It details those on the Lusitania, those who survived and who recorded as missing. It also records the more gruesome details of remains - unidentified and identified. However I cannot find record in any of these details of a Mr Ormandy". So there is conflicting evidence - maybe he was due to be a crew member but changed ships? My great grandfather John Ormandy and one of his sons, also a John, were seamen, I wonder if J Ormandy is one of them?

Manks Family Tree

(thanks to Elaine Marshall)
http://users.highway1.com.au/~gavynne includes a family tree compiled by Gavan Manks of Perth, Western Australia. This includes the following ORMANDYs (in June 2002):
William Ormandy (about 1797 - 12 Feb. 1862 (at College Farm, Orrell - cause: apoplexy, 3 days certified)) who married Ellen Johnson (1797 - 9 Oct. 1830)
their children were:

I asked Gavan about the source of the Ormandy information and his reply was 'the info on Ormandy was obtained from a distant relative in Victoria about ten years ago, & was just in a list of names with no further details'. There are some problems with the current web pages which should be resolved when Gavan moves his site to a new Internet provider.

Note: there is a National Probate Index entry for William Ormandy above

Newspapers on line

A pilot scheme for on line newspapers 1851-1901 British Library at http://www.uk.olivesoftware.com

I searched for Ormandy (November 2001) and, apart from getting Normandy entries also, there were 3 Ormandy items returned:

From the Manchester Guardian 15/2/1851, a list for THE MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL DISTRICT BANKING COMPANY of Persons of whom the Company or Partnership consists including William Ormandy, Haigh, near Wigan, farmer.

From the News of the World 12/10/1851, an account of an attack by a boar on Mr. Stephen Seward at the Ulverston Cattle Show - the boar belonged to Mr. James Ormandy of Gleaston Castle.

From the Manchester Guardian 8/5/1886, an advertisement for a cottage to be sold in the Isle of Man 'owing to the demise of the late owner' W. H. Benbow, applications to Mr. Ormandy of 180 Regent Road, Bootle, Liverpool.

Old Bailey

When I looked in March 2003 it had '22,000 trials, from December 1714 to December 1759' including the trial on 5th June 1728 of 6 people, one of whom was John Ormondy, of St. Andrew's Holborn who were indicted for burglary (and stealing 40 pairs of stockings, value 10/-) on 15th March 1728. Verdict - not guilty.

Openshaw Genealogy Archive - The Openshaw Pedigree

This is at http://www5.pair.com/vtandrew/openshaw/openshaw/ and information about Agnes Ormandy can be found by following the link to 'Every name Index'. It says that she was the first wife of Richard Walker Openshaw who was born in Newport, Isle of Wight on 25th February 1799 (and died 13th April 1854) - they married in 1818.

Ontario - 1871 Census of Canada

(Thanks to Fred Sedgwick).
A 'Searchable Database of Heads & Strays' is at
http://xcat.stauffer.queensu.ca/census/ and a search for Ormandy in February 2003 produced 2 records:
ORMANDY, THOMAS Age [50] Birthplace [ENGLAND] Religion [CE] Ethnic Origin [ENGLISH] Occupation [F] District [15] Sub District [C] Division Page [2] Page [20] County [BRA] Description [Brantford West Twp.]. (Elsewhere on the site the meaning of occupation F is given as farmer).

Ormandy name

From A Dictionary of English Surnames by P. H. Reaney & R. M. Wilson:
'Ormandy: Ellen Ormandie 1296 LaWills; Agnes Ormundie 1552 Bardsley; John Ormondy 1675 LaWills. From Osmotherly in Ulverston (La).'
(LaWills is 'A list of the Lancashire Wills proved within the Archdeanery of Richmond (Lancs and Ches Rec. Soc. 10, 1884)'. Bardsley is Bardsley's Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1901) - basic source was the late 13th century Hundred Rolls.)

From The Penguin Book of Surnames by Basil Cottle:
'Osmotherly L 'Osmund's mound/clearing' ON + OE; places in Lancs/North Yorks'.
L refers to surnames recording and originating in locations, ON = Old Norse, OE = Old English.

Ormandy name variations

Some Ormandy name variations are pretty obvious (like ORMONDY, ORMANDEY), but some more obscure variations/mis-transcriptions have been found in various records. Here's a few I'm aware of - any others gratfully accepted.
ORNABY - Fred Sedgwick told me that this and ORMANDY were interchangeable due to pronunciation.
HORNSBY - Miles ORMANDY shown as HORNSBY in FreeBMD
NORMANDY - a birth certificate for Henry ORMANDY and a short certificate issued at the same time by the same registrar showing the name as NORMANDY
ORMANBY - some ORMANBY entries occur on FreeBMD
ORMANDBY - ORMANDY name written as this in 1871 census. Thanks to Celia Bloor for this.
ORMENDY, ORMADAY, ORMADY, ORMUNDIE from transcriptions of parish register information thanks to Diana Pitchford.

Ormandy, Donald

Don Ormandy of Tooradin, Victoria has his family tree recorded at http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/o/r/m/Donald-D-Ormandy/index.html - this 'Links the Ormandy family in Australia to the Ormandys in Cumbria district England'.

Ormandy/Watkins

(thanks to Elaine Marshall)
The LDS Family Search site http://www.familysearch.com has a library section (click on the 'Library' tab) - click on 'Family History Library Catalog' then enter Ormandy in 'Surname Search'. This leads to a reference to 2 titles by Rhys Watkins:

The biography of John Henry Watkins, saddler, of Uralla, New South Wales, Australia, 1846-1888 (John Henry Watkins was born ca. 1846 in northern Wales. He came to Australia with his sister Elizabeth, arriving in March of 1870. He married twice, first to Sarah Whiteside in 1874, and after her sudden death, to Isabella McCullough in 1879. He died of the effects of polio in 1888. Elizabeth Watkins married James Ormandy in 1874 and their descendants are also traced in this volume)

James Ormandy and Elizabeth Watkins : their biography and family tree (Includes Outteridge and related families. Elizabeth Watkins (ca. 1852-1928) was born in North Wales and came to Australia where she married James Ormandy in 1874. He was born in Bootle, England in 1842. Descendants lived in Australia.)

Owners of Land

I found a book in two large volumes in the Hereford records office called 'Return of Owners of Land 1873'. This is arranged by county and I looked at just Lancaster, Cumberland and Westmoreland and found some Ormandy entries:

Russ family

http://www.russfamily.net is the 'WEBSITE FOR THE DESCENDANTS OF CHRISTIAN KARL GOTTFRIED RUSS, FURRIER OF BRANDIS GERMANY'. The following Ormandys are included:
William Ormandy (died 1868), the father of:
Thomas Ormandy (died 1924) who married Mary Ann Cullen in 1878. They were the parents of:
Thomas William Ormandy, also known as Thomas K. Ormandy (born 1880) who married Edith Braund. They were the parents of Margaret Joyce Ormandy and Stanley Ormandy.

There are interesting details on the web site, including a statement that Mary Ann Cullen was dressmaker to the Queen.

St. Catherine's Marriage Index

The web site http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/genuki/StCathsTranscriptions contains transcriptions of some GRO marriage indexes, including all those for the first quarter of 1849. A particular benefit is that it can help with identification of spouses. The site was last updated in 1999. All its data will, presumably, eventually be included in FreeBMD. (Since I copied this I have checked FreeBMD and all that follows is there - maybe all the data has been copied to FreeBMD - but having got this far I'm leaving what I've transcribed). Here is the data I found that includes Ormandys and their potential spouses:
Bristol volume 11 page 153:

Blackmore John
Davis Ann
Francombe Deborah
Gifford Robert
Hooper Perlina
Morgan Thomas
Ormandy Margaret Richards
Young Benjamin
Ormskirk volume 21 page 400:

St Helens

Via Email from Pauline Hurst, the following information:
The 1891 Slaters has a George Ormondy Estate Agent , 27 Market Place resident at Stafford Rd. St Ann's
nothing on the 1871 directory or the 1851 census surname index.

From http://www.dowd.co.uk/GenData/, Local Trade Directories Lists for St Helens & Newton in Makerfield, the following entries from Slaters St. Helens directory of 1895:
name, occupation, address, area
George Ormandy, Accountant, Prescot Road, St Helens
George Ormandy, Accountant, 8 East Street, St Helens
George Ormandy,, Prescot Road, St Helens

St. James Cemetery, Liverpool

The cemetery is beside the Anglican Cathedral. The following web site is dedicated to the cemetery
http://www.stjamescemetery.co.uk
The site includes a database of people buried there. When I
looked in August 2001 I found the following Ormandy entries (showing name, dates of birth and death, age, area of cemetery):
Bridgett:Ormandy:.:1820:1862:42:Years:6
John:Ormandy:.:1794:1839:45:Years:6
Sarah:Ormandy:.:1800:1850:50:Years:6
Sarah:Ormandy:.:1825:1833:8:Years:6

Mike Faulkner, whose site this is, kindly visited and photographed the grave and sent me the inscription on the stone which is as follows. The .... are because the top left hand corner of the gravestone is missing.

………Sarah Anne Ormandy
……5th 1833 aged 8 years
also John Ormandy who died November 26th 1839 aged 45 years
also Sarah Anne Ormandy who died March 8th 1850 aged 50 years
also Bridget daughter of John and Sarah Anne Ormandy
who died at Waterloo July 9th 1862 aged 42 years
Also Amy Fisher daughter of Fisher and Ellen Ormandy
Who died at Great Crosby September 25th 1870 aged 4 years.

(note - see 'Maritime Memorials' above for another Ormandy buried in this cemetery).

St. Mary's Church, Kirkdale, Liverpool

Shows marriages in this church from 4th October 1874 to 11th December 1883. When I looked in December 2001 there were no Ormandy marriages shown

Sunderland

(also see Digital Library of Historical Directories above)
At
http://userdb.rootsweb.com/uki/, the Rootsweb United Kingdom and Ireland records data base, I entered Ormandy in the search (in January 2003) and got 1 result, a record for John Ormandy in Sunderland, Durham in Slater's 1854 directory (p92).

Tieman/Marshall Genealogy

The Tieman/Marshall genealogy site at http://home.attbi.com/~m-tieman includes 3037 individuals from 1053 families, including about 50 Ormandys. These are the descendants of Rev. John ORMANDY (1792 - 1846) who was Priest at Greystoke 1815-1822 and Vicar of Thwaites Chapel, Millom 1822-1846, and the son or nephew of Sir John ORMANDY, Vicar of Old Church of the Holy Trinity at Millom. I have extracted and structured the Ormandy information here. When I rechecked the Tieman/Marshall web site in August 2002 I was unable to access it. Miliss Ormandy has told me that this is her line and the information is not complete or correct - she is planning to let me have the information to correct this.

Toronto Star

The Toronto Star's 'Pages of the Past' at http://thestar.pagesofthepast.ca/ offers free searches of the year 1945 for a limited time. In January 2003 I searched for Ormandy and got '26 hits for ormandy on 24 pages'.
This is what I found:
February 3rd an article about a concert by a NY orchestra under Erno Rapee ... "As conductor in dumb drama days he once had a concert master called Ormandy".
Also February 3rd, under the headline 23 DEAD, EIGHT MISSING IN 1,107 R.C.A.F. LIST: Seriously Ill: ORMANDY, Palge (maybe Paige) Edwin, Flt.-Lieut: N. E. Ormandy (father), 375 Brock St., Kingston
March 27, April 7th, May 9th (p 23): reference to Normandy and April 14th: Normandy Blvd.
And the rest: references to Eugene Ormandy - recordings, concert advertisements and reviews etc.
