Thank you everybody for this.

I finally managed to get back on ScotlandsPeople (lost p/w) and you know what, there were
60 Alexander Littles in Glasgow that census year - I would not have found it without seeing 'Shettleston' here.....

Passing it all on to John, I expect he will be delighted to find them in Canada.
Cheers, Alisom

Interesting to see that Henrietta's son Robert was born in the Transvaal, 1899.
It confirms the rather muddled emigration record I found online.

His birth is not on NAAIRS, I already suspected that he may have returned with his family to
Ireland, but without a birth certificate - I suppose this is possible? He was baptised in Ireland.

And another baptism on the same page seems the only record (apart from her early death) of the
existence of his sister Louisa, unless anyone here can find her birth?

Something to look into on Scotland People there is a 1951 marriage entry in Shettleston
surnames are little/cook and her middle name is Knigh

The Cooks are on the Glasgow Electoral Register year 1954/address 52 Old  Shettleston Road

I think the 1951 marriage is for Robert A Little & Margaret’s (nee Strain)  daughter Henrietta

Her death

COOK HENRIETTA KNIGH age 89 mmn STRAIN 2015 775/ 1

Edit to add

LITTLE HENRIETTA KNIGH F 1925 644/19 285 Shettleston

Thank you everybody again.
John is very pleased with the results but is taking a break for a bit.
 - he says 'There are some very good research people on RootsChat!

I may well have more queries later!
Cheers, Alison xx
