Lancelot L was 66 in 1851 Born at kirkby Thore and was farming on
his own account, at Ormside. Was he the one connected with Stamp
Hill?

At the same time John L a farm servant aged 24 who was born at
kirkby Thore was also living at Ormside, I take it this will be
he John reffered to in the reference you posted.
