John Little and wife Agnes - nee Wright

[Jamjar]

I'm looking for John and Agnes.

They may have been on Becton farm in 1797.

One known child is David, said to be born around that time, at Becton.

Hi Jamjar

Not sure if this is any help but a search on the IGI using these parents' names brings up the folowing children:

Uppercleugh, Applegarth
1788 Robert

St Mungo
1804 Andrew
1808 Mary
1811 Margaret

Thanks Gadget,

It gives me something to start with.

An interesting family on the 1841 at Corriehill, Hutton and Corrie. A few of the names ring the odd bell, including a John Little, 77, farmer (831 ED 3 Page 9).

It's the only John who might fit but they could be dead by then

Hi Gadget,

Are there any Duncan's there?

David Little, son of John and Agnes, is buried with his wife in Hutton cemetery.

No. He is head and there is a ?son, James, 35-9 and ?d-in-l, Mary, 35-9 and their children. I'm assuming these relationships because of lack of info on the 1841.

The only two David Little's that fit on the 1841 are one in St Mungo and 1 in Tundergarth. What was David's wife's first  name?

But, there is an Andrew Little iat Marionhill,  Hutton and Corrie -ED 3 page 10

Andrew, 35-39, Grocer
Margaret, 35-39
Thomas, 14
Janet, 15
Henrietta, 11
John, 9
George, 7
Nancy, 5
Robert, 3
David, 1

Interesting children's names!

I'll check to see if I can find a Robert as well - not really convinced by the ones that I found - Canonbie and KP Juxta

Hi Jamjar,

Map of Beckton Farm, Lockerbie attached for your attention.

The red shaded area south of the Farm is land of known Archaeological interest.
