Hi Robyn,

I don't see a listing in the 1841 Scottish or 1841 English census for a Robert Little, born about 1831, who was the son of William Little with wife Helen.

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp does not show a Robert Little, son of William Little and Helen in Scotland. Nor does it show a William Little married to Helen Graham. The familysearch records are based on Scottish parish records, though not everyone registered their births and marriages.

However, the surnames LITTLE and GRAHAM were quite numerous in the West Marches of the Borders region of Scotland in the 1600s and 1700s. See http://www.geocities.com/littlednaproject/borders.jpg for an appropriate map.

See also http://www.geocities.com/littlednaproject/Borders.htm for an article, "Tracing the Borders Littles through DNA Testing". The chances are quite good that your Littles originated in the Borders region, eventhough there is no specific record of them.

Best Regards, Leo

Any help appreciated.
