Hi, Trying to find info on John Littlewood Born 1836 Honley nr Huddersfield. His Parents George Littlewood & Hannah Haigh.
Possible death 1919 burial Woodroyd Honley, unable to establish a wife and family the closest is Ann or a Ruth Emma Mosley.
John's brothers Richard, Joseph, Benjamin, sisters Lydia, Ann, Sarah & Mary.

(The other John showing born 1836 Honley should read Johnson Littlewood married to a Mary Jane Parker his name is incorrect on a number of sites. Johnson is my Great Grandfather)

Many thanks.
Val Elson.

Hi, Rambling Rose, Greyghost,

Hi,
The only information I can find re George a possible second marriage is to a Sarah Charlesworth, no marriage dates.
Nathan France was married to John's sister Ann (Marr-1861) along with the elusive nephew George living with Ann & Nathan (No parents found for him)
This info allows me to add to the family tree now.
Thank you.
Val.

ADDED - the Almondbury marriage PR for 1857 are on Ancestry, but the records nos 237-256 appear to be missing!!!

They may be there, but mixed in with other years.
The marriage doesn't come up on an Ancestry search unless it has been badly transcribed
