Biography

• In the 1861 census Ann is listed as the wife, but she was actually unmarried. She was living with her widowed mother Priscilla, and her nephew Noah Knowles at that time.

• Married Edgar Littley, the baker from Ottery St Mary in 1864 (aged 37) and had 2 sons, Edwin and Frederick.

• In the 1871 census, Ann Littley's niece Augusta Evans had joined the family. Augusta's mother was Ann's sister Mary Evans, nee Stone, who had died in childbirth. Mary left behind 3 daughters, all under 4 years of age. Her husband James Evans seems not to have been able to cope and by 1871, he had parcelled his daughters out to the relatives. He may also have died as he disappears from all the records around this time.
