I hope you're still around. I have a William Little, married to Mary Bell, on my tree. Their son was Christopher Little (who also married a Mary) born c.1784. Unfortunately I also have very little information on these people.

EDIT: Christopher's son, George, was born in Hutton & Corrie c.1808.
Little - Dumfries (Clan Little) and Bristol
Moule
Perks
Taylor
Helsdon - Norfolk
Grix - Norfolk
Jenkins
Gainford - husbands family (which also contains Littles from Cumbria!)

Hi
I don't know much about The family of William Little and Mary Bell but I looked up Christopher's death certificate and found that William Little was a joiner on both death certificate's, so going on that I believe Christopher is Mary's brother.

About 8 years too late: John Harkness and Mary Little are my direct ancestors. Indirect evidence suggests that William Little had an illegitimate child with John's mother Hannah and subsequently moved to Jamaica

Hi there, I'm a newbie and can see this is a rather old thread but thought I'd reply anyway.

John Harkness and Mary Little are my direct ancestors too, through their son Thomas (c.1811-1894). He married Margaret Richardson.

@jwharkness the William and Hannah McKie story sounds very interesting!

Hi, I'm new on here too, but have found this discussion very interesting... I'm a direct descendant of John and Mary as well also through their son Thomas, and his daughter Janet. I have found a baptism record for William Little in ScotlandsPeople dated 18/3/1806 in Middlebie with the parents listed as William Little and Hannah Harkness. William Little Jnr died in 1872 in Half Morton I believe (also from ScotlandsPeople).

Has anyone managed to get much further back with John Harkness and Mary Little's grandparents?? I'm really banging my head off a wall!!!

Merry Christmas.
