Hi Adrian,
I have a Henry Littlewood in my family tree, but I do not know if this is the one you are looking for as so many names were carried through different branches of the families. However the timing would be about right.
Anyway , this is what I have.
Thomas LITTLEWOOD married Mary Ann FENN and they had 6 children - Thomas John, Henry, Fanny, William, Mary Ann and Rebecca. I'm having some trouble dating these, but it seems Mary may have been born around 1824 and Henry would have been quite a few years older than that.
I can't help anymore with the 'Henry' line, but Mary Ann married Saville Charles GARDNER and they had a son William Littlewood who married Emma Jane BROOKER. These were my great grandparents. They had 2 daughters, Florence Seymour and Barbara and they emigrated to Australia with Barbara,Florence and her husband George some time in 1910.
Florence and George had 4 children - Joan Mary (17/8/1914 - 13/3/1917), Kenneth Littlewood(15/7/1916-27/11/1995), Bernard Edwin(26/5/1920-) and Pamela Ann(7/7/1930-).
Kenneth was my dad and the Littlewood name was given to him as a middle name, then to my brother Brian.
If you want more exact details from Florence to present date I can give you that.
If this is your Henry and you can give me some more details, I would be interested in hearing from you.
Regards,
Joan
