| Introduction | |||||
| Tracing | Tracing the Littles | ||||
| Tracing my mother's family, the Littles, has never been easy, partly as Little is quite a common name, but also because my mother's father died when she was 4 years old and her mother re-married - so the only 'father' she knew, her stepfather, was not a Little. She left home as soon as she could, was never interested in the past, and kept almost no documents or family records. | |||||
| One of the first certificates I ordered from the PRO (now TNA) was the marriage certificate of my maternal grandparents John Little and Lily Buchan. This was already misleading, as John Little was not his full name, which was John Edward Little. and he was not 29, but 25 years old (as his bride was 31, I suppose that he was trying to disguise the age difference). His father is given as John Edward Little (also not his full name), a tram driver. | Marriage | ||||
| By 1989, on the basis of my mother's recollections, I had the death certificate of John Little, which showed his full name as John Edward Little, and his actual age as 31 on 26 June 1928 - pointing to a birth in the year before 27 June 1897. | Death | ||||
| There were 3 John Edward Littles born in that year - 2 in West Derby, and 1 in Carlisle, so I ordered all 3 certificates The one in Carlisle had a father Thomas, so could be eliminated, but both in West Derby had fathers called John - John Little and Maud Allen for the one, and John Edward Little and Rachel Norris for the other. As the latter was John Edward Little, this seemed the most likely. | Birth | ||||
| I then searched for the death of Rachel Norris - which turned up quite soon, being in 1908 already. This showed her husband as John Edward Little, and electric car driver (which sounds very trendy today, 112 years later). So this has to be the right one. On seeing this information, my mother remembered that "there was a Rachel in there somewhere", so that seems to clinch it! | Death | ||||
| I already had the marriage certificate for John Edward Little and Rachel Norris in Walton in 1895. He was working as a furniture packer, aged 21, so born in the year before 20 October 1874, and his father was George Little, a cotton porter. | Marriage | ||||
| In 1997, the index to the 1881 census became available, and true to form, there were 2 John Littles with fathers called George in Liverpool. The one in Medlock street fit best with the age, address and occupations, and later proved correct. So George Little was 54 in 1881, a tailor born in Carlisle, his wife was Mary Ann, 47, born in Penrith, and their sons were William, 20, a warehouseman born in Carlisle, George, 13, Joseph, 11, and John Edward, 6, all born in Liverpool. | Census | ||||
| Of the sons, only George's birth in 1867 was easy to identify. His birth certificate shows his parents as George Little, tailor master, and Mary Ann Little, formerly Atkinson. | Birth | ||||
| Their marriage in 1857 was then easy to identify - George Little was aged 29, a tailor living in Coathill, Wetheral, son of George Little, husbandman deceased, and Mary Ann Atkinson was 26, living in Cumwhinton, Wetheral, daughter of George Atkinson, a miller deceased. | Marriage | ||||
| Confirming the above, George and Mary Ann's first child was Martha born in 1859 (q.v.). She married Thomas Duke in 1882 (q.v.), and it was with them that John Edward Sampson Little and his son John Edward Little were living in the 1911 census (q.v.). | Census | ||||
| In around 2005 I googled "John Edward Little", and found a mail from a 1st cousin 1x removed of mine on the Little side, Ray Callaghan, who I had never heard of. He pointed out that the birth of John Edward Sampson Little had been registered as 'Edward Sampson Little'. | Birth | ||||
| A few years later, Ancestry.co.uk included baptisms for this time period, including that for John Edward Sampson Little. | Baptism | ||||

| PP_12 | That John Edward Sampson Little (12) was the father of John Edward Little (6) | ||||
| My descent from my grandfather John Edward Little is confirmed by a DNA match with a half-2nd cousin, a granddaughter of his half-brother William J. Little. | DNA | ||||
| My descent from John Edward Sampson Little is also confirmed by my brother, myself and our half-2nd cousin having around 15 DNA matches (average around 50cM) with several descendants of his uncles William James Little and George Little. | |||||
| John Little and Lily Buchan married on 28 January 1922 in Walton-on-the-Hill, Liverpool. His father was given as John Edward Little, a tram driver. | Marriage | ||||
| The search for John Edward Little, the tram driver is described above in 'Tracing the Littles'. | Tracing | ||||
| John Edward Little was born in 1896, the son of another John Edward Little, a furniture remover, and Rachel Little formerly Norris. | Birth | ||||
| The elder John Edward Little, 21 (born c. 1874), a furniture packer, and Rachel Norris married in Walton on the Hill in 1895. The groom's father is given as George Little, a cotton porter. | Marriage | ||||
| The 1901 census has John E. Little aged 27 (born c. 1874), electric car driver, living in Walton with wife Rachel, son John aged 4, and daughter Rachel aged 3. | Census | ||||
| Edward Sampson Little born 18 Nov. 1874, son of George & Mary Ann Little (formerly Atkinson) of 46 Friar Street, Everton, | Birth | ||||
| was baptized as John Edward Sampson Little on 2 June 1875. | Baptism | ||||
| John Edward Sampson Little died on 15 March 1939 aged 64 years at 68 Kelso Road, Liverpool. | Death | ||||
| My descent from John Edward Sampson Little is confirmed by at least 6 DNA matches averaging about 38cM with descendants of his siblings William James, and George Little and at least 15 matches averaging about 50cm of all descendants of John with all descendants of those siblings. | DNA | ||||
| So the father of John Edward Little (6), | |||||
| John Edward Sampson Little (12), born in 1874 in West Derby, | |||||
| married to Rachel Norris (13) in 1895 in Walton on the Hill, | |||||
| died in 1939 in West Derby, was the son of | |||||
| George Little (24), and | PP_24 | ||||
| Mary Ann Atkinson (25). | |||||
| PP_24 | That George Little (24) was the father of John Edward Sampson Little (12) | PP_12 | |||
| John Edward Sampson Little was on born 18 Nov. 1874, son of George Little, porter, and Mary Ann Little (formerly Atkinson) of 46 Friar Street, Everton. | Birth | ||||
| The 1881 census has John Little aged 6, Joseph 11, George 13, William 20, sons of George Little aged 54, tailor, born in Carlisle and Mary Ann his wife aged 47 born in Penrith. | Census | ||||
| The 1871 census has Joseph 2, George 14, William J. 10 (the same sons as in 1881), and daughter Martha 12 living with of George Little aged 43, tailor, born in Cumberland and Mary Ann his wife aged 40 born in Cumberland, at 46 Friar Street - where John Edward Sampson Little was born in 1874. | Census | ||||
| The 1861 census has Martha 2 and Ann 3 living with of George Little aged 31, tailor, born in Somerby, Cumberland and Margaret (Mary Ann?) his wife aged 31 born in Longtown Cumberland in Wetheral, Cumberland. | Census | ||||
| George Little aged 29 of Wetheral, son of George Little, husbandman, deceased, and Mary Ann Atkinson aged 26 of Wetheral, daughter of George Atkinson, miller, deceased, married on 12 Dec. 1857 in Carlisle. | Marriage | ||||
| George Little aged 29 of Wetheral in 1857 (b. 1828) is most likely the George, son of George Little and Alice Baty in Wetheral in 1828. | Birth | ||||
| George Little aged 22 is no doubt the one in 1851 living in St. Cuthbert's lane in Carlisle, draper, born in Crosby, Cumberland. | Census | ||||
| George Little aged 13 and Hannah aged 15 were living in 1841 at Greenburn farm in Kingwater, Cumberland with their father George a shepherd (whose age is given as 45, but must have been around 55). | Census | ||||
| The wife of George Little's father, Alice, is not present in the 1841 census, having died in 1833. | Death | ||||
| George Little's father George is still living at Greenburn farm in 1851, an agricultural labourer aged 66, born in Askerton, with Hannah 24 (his youngest daughter), her daughter Alice 11, and two other grandchildren - George Little 11, and Isabella Fishburn 9. | Census | ||||
| Five siblings of George Little b. 1828 married and had children, but I have not so far been able to find any of their descendants with a DNA match to any of George's descendants. But my brother and I do have matches to 2 descendants of a sister of his probable paternal grandmother Mary Bell, so that may confirm our descent from George Little as well. | DNA | ||||
| So the father of John Edward Sampson Little (12), | |||||
| George Little (24), born in 1828 in Wetheral, | |||||
| married to Mary Ann Atkinson (25) in 1857 in Carlisle, | |||||
| died in 1899 in Walton on the Hill, was the son of | |||||
| George Little (48), and | PP_48 | ||||
| Alice Baty (49). | |||||
| PP_48 | That George Little (48) was the father of George Little (24) | PP_24 | |||
| We found above that George Little aged 29 of Wetheral in 1857 is pretty certainly the George, son of George Little and Alice Baty born in Wetheral in 1828. | Birth | ||||
| George Little a bachelor and Alice Baty a spinster married in Lanercost on 20 May 1807, witnessed by Andrew and Elizabeth Baty | Marriage | ||||
| George Little and Alice Baty had 9 children between 1808 and 1828 - Mary 1808, Jane 1810, John 1813, Ann 1816 (died 1821), Elizabeth 1818 (died 1840), Andrew Baty 1821, George 1824 (died 1824), Hannah 1825 and George 1828. | |||||
| As we saw above, George Little is still living at Greenburn farm in 1851, an agricultural labourer aged 66, born in Askerton, with Hannah 24 (his youngest daughter), her daughter Alice 11, and two other grandchildren - George Little 11, and Isabella Fishburn 9. | Census | ||||
| Aged 66 in 1851 points to a birth in 1784 or 1785, so the baptism of George Little in Lanercost in 1784, the son of John Little, a clogger, and his wife Mary, is likely to be him. | Birth | ||||
| In which case, his parents are likely to be the John Little and Mary Bell married in nearby Brampton in 1781. | Marriage | ||||
| My brother and I have matches to 2 descendants of a probable sister of this Mary Bell, so she may be confirmed as an ancestor, as would our whole Little line right down to myself and my brother. | DNA | ||||
| So the father of George Little (24), | |||||
| George Little (48), born in 1784 in Lanercost, | |||||
| married to Alice Baty (49) in 1807 in Lanercost, | |||||
| died in <1857 in Wetheral?, was the son of | |||||
