JOHN LITTLE, Bottlemaker, Dublin

[jjt]

Hello All,

I haven't followed this thread in detail, but I found it while searching for info on "J.E. Stanley Photographers".

In case it is useful, I have a photo in our family collection with a nice clear logo from that photographer on the back. The photo is circa 1925, give or take a few years.

You can find it on the Flickr here:

Thanks for the info. I think this photographer (or family of photographers) carried on their business for a very long while! I posted the photo on 18 May 2010 on the restore and dating thread (if you want to see) and was told it was about 1889, which told me it was my ggrandfather not his father.

I now know (for the people on this thread who gave me extra info) that this John Little was actually the owner of the Hibernian Glass Bottle Works - and went bankrupt in 1893, when the works were sold to Mr Burke. He was retained as manager but not surprisingly left for SA in 1896.

Sorry, mucked up that last reply!  Meant to say thanks for that additional info about HBW, Burkes etc.  Really interesting.

I actually know quite a lot more, having managed to contact three different distant relatives with information recently! If interested let me know        - Alison.

My family is related to John Little.
My great grandfather was Joseph Mclaren who married Jane Little, daughter of John Little. My father John Mclaren grew up in Thorncastle street in Ringsend and his father was a glass bottle maker.

Hello Carole.
It's a while since I have been on here but I do have some information, I think.
I see this is your first post. If I remember right you can't use personal messages yet (is that right anyone?)

I don't know how much you know about your relation (and mine)...I will put some basic info about

Jane here.Jane is sometimes called Jennie or Jeannie in records.

She's in Dublin in 1901 and 1911 ( http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ )

She's in censuses from 1851 - 1871 in Glasgow.

She married Joseph McLaren in 1868 in Glasgow, and is still there in 1871.

She was at John Little's funeral in 1889, but not her husband.

....I may have more about him,  but it will be in files about other people and the bottleworks, possibly a map...
You may know all this already, of course. - Alison

I believe Joseph Mclaren born in 1811 and died 1874. He had a son also called Joseph who was born in 1846 and married a Jane Little. They had several children, one of which is John born in 1871 and he was a bottle maker in Ringsend and went there with his brothers.

Hi Carole
Jane/ Jenny/ Jeannie Little
Born 1846 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire. Her mother was Isabella Pirrie/Perry, and she may have died at Jane’s birth. She may have been a twin (not proved). Her father remarried in 1849.
Have you any record of when she died?

I have John, Joseph and Thomas as their children. also Christian.

In 1881 they were living at 3, Cambridge Terrace, Dublin - this is from her stepmother's death certificate.
