My husband's family Little came from Kirkpatrick Juxta which is a parish, now defunct, fairly near to Ecclefechan. It is in the Beattock area, we visited it a few years ago and went to the local Kirk and graveyard, It was just stuffed with Littles, so many that we had to photograph them all and go home to research them. It seems that the whole area is full of Littles and they all seem to have the same forenames and seem to have intermarried at will.

I hope I haven't put you off, but you have to persevere and keep your generations and marriages clear in your head!
