 Hi the William & John that i have mentioned were
john born 1891 & William born 1897 were the sons of William Little & Isabella Thomson. And William that was married Isabella was the son Of John Little & Sarah Wilkin.I have traced the Littles back to David Little 1685. But finding  it was supposed to be a brother who was with William when he died is a mystery i would like to solve it and find the answer but i dont think thats going to happen.I have been to Canonbie Churchyard and i have seen the headstone for William & Isabella  & Son Williams name is on the headstone and the grave next them  them is John Little & Sarah Wilkin. There were Just two brothers alive when William died in 1935 Thomas he still lived in Canonbie Alexander was living somewhere in Dumfries he was the black sheep of the family. Margaret 55

its not possible to be a brother in law there was only one girl among the brothers and she died when she was two years old.If the person who was in attendant had lived in Canonbie i would have assumed it could have been Thomas and the registrar had just  got the name wrong.Thomas was my mothers Uncle and as a child i grew up knowing him and no one in the family ever mentioned another brother. I think its just going to be one of lifes mystries but its annoying when there is not going to be an answer. Margaret 55

I have been doing my Little family tree i have hit a real curve ball not sure about anyone being able to help.I have William  Little married to Isabella Thomson they lived in Canonbie they had son John 1891-1926 Anne 1893-1895 Alexander 1895-1966 William 1897-1935 Thomas 1901-1985 Henry 1907-1907 John married Mary Robinson and they lived in Longtown i have the 1921 census for them.I have got a copy of  Johns death certificate from the GRO website he died in an isolation hospital in Longtown in 1926 i also obtained a copy of Williams death certificate  he died in the Cumberland infirmary in 1935 and it has says he lived at Canonbiemoor. so all that information  is correct but here is something i cant figure out it says J Little brother was in attendance and this J little lived at Holmehead Gretna.It Cant have been John because he was already deceased.I have even tried on Scotlands  people to see if Isabella might have had another son with that initial but found nothing.its so frustrating not being able to solve a mystry.
