Jason, as far as we can determine we are now upto 7 generations of Australians with myself 5th generation(I was born 1950),we can guess some traces in Australia and my cousin actually has done a lot of work on this collection of littlewoods. There is a suspicion on reasonable evidence that the first Australian littlewood came out (in iron)from Norfolk after "killing 3 sheep with intent to steal". His name as best we can determine was James Wood alias (litte) Wood. This is not necessarily factual and is our best guess to date. my Lineage is; Rex Littlewood-me-(1 of 5) of Reginald ernest littlewood(1 of 12) of James Littlewood (orphan???) of Annie Littlewood - born in the Salvation Hospital opposite Grace Bros Broadway -Sydney, Annie being the Daughter of ?? Littlewood the son of James (littlle) Wood . So that is where we are , sheepsblood, shackles and all, any further advances/ by the way noted on my booking into a Hotel in Sydney Vivian Littlewood, understand he is also a rel. of yours or that is my memory from discussion with Nigel littlewood recently.
