He was most likely living as early as the time of Henry I (1100-1135).

Orm had a son and heir named, Bernulf, and another son named Adam, who is mentioned in the Pipe Rolls, p.12, in 1169. Bernulf, son of Orm, had a son, also named Orm, who "attested the agreement, made between 1157-63, before Henry II, between the monks of Furness and William Lancaster I [Pipe Rolls, p. 12]." This Orm*, also had a brother named Adam [Pipe Rolls, p. 409]. Orm was also the father of William de Kellet [Pipe Rolls, p.107], who took part in the rebellion of John, count of Martain, in 1194, and later recieved a pardon from the King and fined 20 marks [Pipe Rolls, p.78].

William's oldest son was likely Henry de Kellet whose name appears from 1204-1207 in the Pipe Rolls, but died without issue before 1211, at the time when Gilbert, the second son of William proffered 20 marks and a palfrey for livery of his inheritance [Pipe Rolls, p.78]. Gilbert died in 1236, leaving issue, William, his son and heir, who died in 1242; Alice, sho married Henry de Croft, and Godith who married first Vivian Gernet, and secondly John de Biggings [Fine Roll Excerpts, I. pgs. 311, 389].
