I am not actually researching this branch of the Ormerods, but recently came across some information regarding Thomas and Isabella, which may be of interest to you.
The information was contained in a letter from the Rev. J.M. Allen, then of The Rectory, Bowness-on-Solway, Cumberland, dated 3 April 1972.
It states "Thomas Ormerod and Isabella Blain were married on 30 September 1819. Isabella Blain was also from the parish [Bowness-on-Solway] ...
Their children baptised at Bowness Church are:
25 June 1829 James
1 January 1822 Betsy
29 February 1824 John
12 February 1826 Ann
13 September 1827 Thomas
3 July 1829 Joseph
31 October 1830 Margaret
10 February 1833 Joseph
3 May 1835 William"
Apparently Thomas' parents lived on Campfield Farm in Bowness, having moved there from elsewhere.
There is a suggestion that both Thomas and Isabella were born in Preston, Lancashire, but I'm not sure where this has come from.
I found further details of several of Thomas and Isabella's children (along with their children) from the 1881 Canadian Census available on the FamilySearch website.
