In 1881 (on familysearch.org) they are transcribed as Littlefare, and Edward's wife is Ann, not Martha.  Otherwise it seems to match.

Think we've given Roj47 enough to work with yet?  ;D

Of course, he asked for info on William and Margery Littlefair, and most of this stuff is about the children of Edward and Martha, but they must be related since they were both living in Morris Twp.

Wow! Many many thanks all for the information. I have not even been able to find death information in England (Mind you am looking more to getting births and christenings so far).

I am really surprised how many littlefairs spring in the tree. Maybe I can get that holiday off a distant erlation ;)

Seriously though it is very much appreciated and it is great to see another country added into my tree.

Mark Newby Littlefair - The only littlefairs I had out of UK are (were) the family from my original link. There will be a large amount of digesting and comprhending before I believe I can move forward from this angle.

In 1881 (on familysearch.org) they are transcribed as Littlefare, and Edward's wife is Ann, not Martha.  Otherwise it seems to match.

Many thanks. Did not think on Littlefare (going back in the past I have had littlefare and littlephare and so on.... Should have thought  ::)  )
Have that information now. :)

Really did not expect a single family name to explode across the globe in the numbers it has in little time... Littlefairs huh ;)

Kind regards

Oh silly me - Edward is son of Wm and Margery.   ::)  I wonder if Emerson had any more children...

Neil Taylor (Farmer, Morris) and Mary Littlefair had Annie Bella Taylor, 17 Jul 1901.

Charles Wilkinson (farmer, Morris) and Annie Littlefair had Louis Elmer (25 Mar 1897) and Charles Howard (30 Jun 1899).

They don't seem to have served in WWI.

silly me, MJP...I figured since I had looked for the principals under forenames,  with near ages I'd have had sure luck...
but then the "Emarson " and Martha not being with an Edward head of household...Still no Margery, though, or did you find her, too? J.J.
