Mary (?)

• Marriage*: Mary (?) married William Little, son of William Little and Hannah Watson, circa 1824.
• Married Name: As of circa 1824, her married name was Little.
• Anecdote*: If William and Mary are the correct parents for Jane and Elizabeth then there is a possible marriage: 5 Jul 1824 William Little married Mary Dean at St Peter, Liverpool. However, there are reasons to doubt this William and Mary as the parents as we know the family were Quakers who did not baptise their children (but did keep records of births). The fact that their children were baptised in Liverpool St Peter therefore creates some doubt. It is possible that the Quaker (non conformist) records for Liverpool will show a different family. Also, this William's age is given as 21 years which is a bit late. This is a work in progress.¹

William Henry Little

Parents:

• Baptism*: William Henry Little was baptized on 26 August 1825 at Liverpool, Lancashire, England.
• He was the son of William Little and Mary (?)

Elizabeth Little

Parents:

• Baptism*: Elizabeth Little was baptized on 9 August 1827 at St Peter's, Liverpool, Lancashire, England.¹
• Anecdote: This baptism is a possibility for our Elizabeth but further work is required. There is another possibility: Elizabeth Little baptised 7 Oct 1825 to William and Elizabeth Little at St Peter Liverpool. Census and date at death do support the 1827 date though.²
• She was the daughter of William Little and Mary (?)
• Residence: On 7 June 1841 Elizabeth Little lived at Duke St, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, Elizabeth is living with Ann Blain, 25 yrs, draper and Jane Blain, 65, independent, and others. She is a drapers assistant. It is interesting to note that a Thomas Blain was an executor of Elizabeth's cousin Mary Little's will in Carlisle, Cumberland in 1860.³
• Anecdote: In the 1851 census there is an Elizabeth Little, age 28 years, born Liverpool, working as a draper's assistant in London. She was living at 65 Bishopsgate Street, St Ethelburga, London. At that time, Elizabeth's sister Jane Little was living a short distance away in Houndsditch Road, Bishopsgate, London.
  Elizabeth was living at the same address for the 1861 census but her occupation was needlewoman.^4,5
• (Witness) Marriage: Elizabeth Little witnessed the marriage of Thomas Ward and Jane Little on 9 June 1862 at All Hallows London Wall, London, England.⁶
• Anecdote: An Elizabeth Little, born c1829 in Liverpool, was living alone in Wetheral near Carlisle, Cumberland for the 1871 census. Her occupation was housekeeper.⁷
• Residence*: On 3 April 1881 Elizabeth Little lived at 2 Hartington Place, Rickergate, Carlisle, Cumberland, England.⁸
• (Witness) Will: Elizabeth Little is mentioned in the will of Jane Little dated 3 April 1881 at Carlisle, Cumberland, England.⁹
• Anecdote: The 1881 census reads:
  Jane Little, Head, unmar, 56 yrs, income from rents, dividends, etc, b. Cumberland, Carlisle.
  Elizabeth Little, Cousin, unmar, 54 yrs, income from rents, dividends, etc, b. Lancashire, Liverpool.
  Ellen Edgar, Servant, 37 yrs, cook domestic, b. Cumberland, Nichol Forest.
  Elizabeth Edgar, Servant, 17 yrs, housemaid, b. Scotland.
  Elizabeth Little is living with her cousin Jane Little (this is not Elizabeth's sister, Jane Little, who married Thomas Ward). This may be a clue that the family originally came from Carlisle. Elizabeth left a will in which she owned the properties at nos 2 and 4 Hartington Road, Carlisle. Did she inherit these from her cousin Jane?
  In the earlier 1851 census, this Jane Little is recorded at 4 Earl St, Rickergate, Carlisle:
  Mary Little, Head, unm, 36 yrs, Annuitant, b. Carlisle.
  Jane Little, Sis, unm, 26 yrs, Annuitant, b. Carlisle.
  Mary Wigham, Aunt, unm, 50 yrs, Annuitant, b. Haltwhistle,NBL
  The prescence of Mary Wigham is significant, as Elizabeth Little appointed Thomas Wigham and Anne Ward as executors of her will in 1889. Anne WARD's address is given as 11 Spring Bank, Manningham, Bradford and is probably a close relative of Thomas WARD (m. Jane LITTLE). The probate indicates that Anne Ward had died before the will was proved in 1896 as Thomas was the only surviving executor. There are family connections here that need to be resolved.^8,10
• Anecdote*: Elizabeth never married.
• Will*: Elizabeth Little left a will made on 3 September 1889 at Carlisle, Cumberland, England.¹¹

• Anecdote: John Ward Trowbridge, of Sandy Bay, Tasmania, Australia is a grandson of Jane Little's daughter Clara Lavinia Ward. He is said to have a card in his possession which reads:
  In Loving Remembrance of
  ELIZABETH LITTLE

  The internment is intended to take place at the
  cemetery, Carlisle, on the 20th inst. leaving
  Hartington Place at 2 p.m.
