I cannot believe there are so many Whittle relatives out there, George Alfred Whittle seems to be a distant cousin, of mine, his father George Whittle born 30/01/1831 in Lowermore Worcester married to Emma Alloway born 25/12/1867 was my 3 x G Grandfather's (John Whittle born Aug 1811) brother.  I hope this makes sense it is all new to me.  These details have only recently been passed to me by my later father's (George James Whittle) family, the details include maiden names of some of the females who have married into the Whittle family since 1773 (Roe, Smith, Stokes, Alloway, Bosley, Priddey, Knight to Lavinia Smith). Also males who have married Whittle females including Spence and Attwood.  The family seem to originate in Bromsgrove in 1773 but move to Egham in Surrey, Windsor in Berkshire, Woking and Barnet Fair Hertfordshire before the last couple of generations make it to Birmingham where we are now.  If anyone has any further information I would be grateful to hear it.  I am told that our a ancestors were boat people and connected with the fair I would love to know more about this.
