Biography
Chris has been a member of the England Project for over 1,000 days.
Chris was a winner in the England Project GO GREEN Challenge.
Chris Little participated with Team Twisted Thistles during the 2020 Connect-a-Thon, and added 96 connections.
Chris Little visited 1 nation: Cameroun, in the 15 Nations Global Tour.
I started family history in the 1990s after a family funeral, mainly with youngest brother. Recently took it up again, and digitized all those paper notes and primary source references into a Gedcom 5.5.1 file and started importing in WikiTree.
Genealogy
We researched our paternal line very solidly back to William Little, Dormansteads, Stapleton, Cumberland, UK, 1676 to 1763-03-27. We hit a bit of a brick wall, so we hope that the Little One Name Study, its Cumberland and Stapleton Parish sub-projects, and the Little Y-DNA project will help link further back perhaps to pre-1600. As Stapleton is only a few miles from Scotland, the Dumfriesshire, Scotland, Little sub-project may be helpful too.
Other names of interest in that time and place are Kennedy, Robson, Phillips and Agnes McQuin who is a particular 'brick wall'.
Our maternal line goes back to farming stock in County Durham, NE England, UK. Family names of interest are Revell, Sayer, Bainbridge and Coatsworth. Annie Robinson and her father are a 'brick wall' too.
Living relatives are scattered around the world (Australia, Canada, India, Middle East, Spain, Thailand and USA).
Reivers
As children, our father always told us we were "descended from a long line of cattle and horse thieves - the Border Reivers" and that our name used to be spelt Lytle. As we push the tree further back in time this seems more and more likely!
As it says in the “Diurnal of Remarkable Occurrents”:
- “Vpoun the xxvj day of Julij [1529], the kingis grace maid ane raid vpoun the theves, and tuik of thame to the nomber of xxxij perfonis of the greiteft of thame, nameit Armeftrangis, Ellottis, Littillis, Irwenis, with vtheris.“

It is once again time for our annual Scotland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:
•If you would like to continue as a project member •If you are happy with your current teams or would you like to join a different team •How much time per month (on average) you spend working on Scottish profiles •Anything you’d like the Scotland Project to do more of in the future
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you are no longer able to participate in the Scotland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.
On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!
Sheena - Scotland Project Membership Coordinator
Thanks for the check-up. I’m happy to stay in Scotland team, even though recently distracted by Durham and Cameroon rabbit warrens. I will be resuming Scottish work soon. I do notice occasionally parishes without a category, both current and historical, so guidelines on whether I should create them or not would be helpful. I also intend to pursue pre-1500 certification, but requests seem to disappear into thin air. Unlikely to pursue original idea of manorial records in the Borders, as unlikely to be in Carlisle for some time, so currently thinking of some online resources for some Edinburgh folk. HTH, Chris
PS I’m aware I’ve created a lot of disconnected twiglets, but it’s a strategy to eliminate/connect lots of Williams and Marys and leave the wild and woolly Borderers that are badly sourced. Hope that makes sense. Chris

I can't help with pre-1500 but I've got a clutch of Jardine Borderers who need more information!
Thanks, regards, Margaret
A category can only be deleted if it is empty, ie, it has no profiles or sub-categories. There are at the moment, 3 different categories for Mamfe, Cameroon, (see Category: South-West Region, Cameroon, all 3 have a profile attached, whichever is the correct one, the profiles from the other 2 need to be moved to the correct one, and those 2 deleted as outlined above.
Many thanks for your help, regards Margaret, Categorization Project.
Thank Chris, cheers, Margaret
