Norfolk Littlewoods

[ajtj01]

Does anyone know who the father of John Littlewood, (born in 1819/21 in Filby), was? he is shown living with a Mary (Ann) Littlewood in 1841 and a mary Littlewood in 1851, were they married pre 1841 or could the earlier Mary Ann be his sister. At the moment this is where the trail ends.

Hi

Filby PR's are available online at

There are baptisms for Sarah (1820) and James (1822) to Robert and Elizabeth Littlewood but I couldn't find John.

Robert Littlewood married Elizabeth Hall 12 Oct 1813 at Burgh St Margaret.

In the 1851 census John Littlewood and Mary had a 10 year old son (William born Gt Yarmouth)
there is this marriage in Gt Yarmouth

There was a William Littlewood, moulder, living at 2, Alberta Cottages Southtown in 1894.My grandfather lived there in 1905.The cottages were still up in 1932.

John Littlewood married Mary Everett/Everitt 22 August 1840 Great Yarmouth
His father Robert - labourer
Her father William - labourer
Witness Elizabeth Littlewood

They have children mothers maiden name Everitt
William 1842 registered as John in GRO
Mary Ann 1844
Maria 1849
John 1852  (Everett)
Robert 1854
Sarah 1857

I cannot find that his birth and death were registered
Walter Littlewood infant buried 6 April 1860
Mary Littlewood age 44 buried 6 April 1860
from Bishops Transcripts.

After Mary dies he marries Hannah 

[amondg]

When Hannah Rachel TAYLOR married William Tice - sailor on 20 January 1841 Great Yarmouth she states her father is George HORTH - sailor
His father is William Tice - farmer

both say they are single

Her daughter Sarah Rachel 1842 has mothers maiden name Horth
Sarah Rachel Tice marries  Daniel Fokerd 17 November 1865 her father is William Tice -Sailor.

Her son George William Taylor Tice 1845 mothers maiden name Horth marries his step sister Maria Littlewood 7 April 1867. His father William Tice - sailor, her father  John Littlewood - Waterman

[amondg]

John Littlewood married 2nd Hannah Rachel Swanson 8 May 1860 St John, Lowestoft Suffolk England
His father Robert Littlewood
Her father George Horth

So in between the death of William Tice Hannah marries a Swanson

Note Hannah Tice is with her family 1851 with children but no husband William Tice.

ADDED
There may be a transcription error between Swanson and Lawson, I have not found the originals yet to see which one got it wrong.
Hannah Rachel Tice married George Lawson 3 February 1856 Great Yarmouth

Updated
The Great Yarmouth entry is definitely LAWSON both are widowed

[amondg]

Hannah fibbed when she said she was single on her 1841 marriage to William Tice.

She had 2 children both in Great Yarmouth from GRO Index
James William Taylor 1841 mmn Horth
Georgiana Horth Taylor 1839 mmn Horth

1841 census great yarmouth
Sarah Horth 50
Robert Horth 13
Samuel Horth 10
Hannah Tice 19
George Taylor 1 (s/b Georgiana)

Her mother Sarah Horth is living with them in 1861

ADDED
Husband number 1
Hannah Horth married Samuel Taylor 5 June 1838 Great Yarmouth
Husband 2 - William Tice 20 January 1841
Husband 3 - George Lawson 3 February 1856
Husband 4 - John Littlewood 8 May 1860

Getting back to your original question: when John marries 1840 Mary Everett he says his father is Robert Littlewood and a witness is Elizabeth possibly his mother or a sister.
