I am trying to find information about George Little, Born in Lea in 1861. He possibly married Margaret in about 1884. They had 3 children, Elizabeth, Charles and Emily.
The family lived in Weston under Penyard, Lydbrook and Cinderford. I have been unable to find a record of Margarets maiden name. Can anyone help?
Many Thanks
Kathleen

Hi kath - Not sure what you have found out so far but here are a couple of census
1861
address - Lea (the nearest named house is the Parsonage)
head - George Little age 31 shoemaker born Newent
wife - Phebe age 35 born Longhope
daughter - Elizabeth age 1 born Lea
son - George age 7 months born Lea
George married Phoebe Constance in 1857 registered Ross.
1851
address - Burlows, Lea
head - Richard Lane shoemaker age 65 shoemaker
wife - Dorcas nee Constance age 38 born Longhope as all the Constance are
children - William 10, george 8, John 6, Susan 2.
brother in law - Hezikiah Constance age 28, shoemaker
sister in law - Joana Constance age 32, general servant
neice - Maria Constance age 21 visitor born Taynton
apprentice - George Little age 20 born Newent
apprentice - William James age 15
Not far away near Lea Pitch is
Phebe Constance age 13 servant born Longhope
And there are other Little families in Lea including Henry Little and his family next door to George, Henry is a shoemaker too, he's born Aston. All the Littles in Herefordshire seem to be grouped around Lea.

Hi Fredb
Many thanks for your reply. Phoebe's(George's mother) surname was one of my problems and as she is the only phoebe I can find I think the Constance link must be a good one.I am going to follow it up right now!
ChrisW has also solved the problem of George's wife for me -Margaret Matthews.
I have had so much help from this website.
Much appreciated

To Chrisw and FredB
Both the Constance and Matthews lines of enquiry work perfectly and I have really been able to extend the family tree quite a long way back -as far as the mid 1700s so far.
Grateful thanks!

Thanks for your reply Sue. Yes, I had already found out about the Matthews but it was really kind of you to get in touch. If it's a family you are researching do let me know if I can ever be of help.
Thanks again

I have a family tree on "Ancestry" Sue. Do you subscribe? If not I can arrange for you to look at it if you give me your e mail address. I could do with a second opinion of some of it!
