Theophilus Little

[p.roberts7]

If anyone has access to the Oldbury Censuse for 1841/1851, I am looking for Theophilus Little, b c1830 in Madeley, Shropshire. I have him living in Oldbury in 1861, with wife Priscilla & family.
ANY info greatly appreciated - for any other Littles from Shropshire as well!
Many thanks, Pete

Hi Jo,

Thank you very much for this - it is certainly worth looking at, as Theophilus isn't that common, and the strange spelling could be Stephen. It also matches a marriage on the IGI between Benjamin & Martha.
Once again, many thanks - just need to try & find them on the 1851!!
Regards, Pete
