Joseph Littledale

1. Will of Joseph Littledale of Berbice proved 14/11/1807. In the will he left his [unspecified] property among his mother Mary Littledale, sisters Ann and Elizabeth Littledale spinsters (all of Whitehaven) and his brother Thomas of Liverpool and Isaac of Petersburg [sic] in Russia. Administration was granted in 1807 to William Brod[e]rick a creditor, and then in 1821 to Thomas Littledale, when Joseph Littledale was described as formerly of Leghorn but late of Berbice.

Based on online genealogical material, Joseph Littledale of Berbice was apparently the son of Isaac Littledale (1735-1791). It appears that the brothers Anthony and Alfred Littledale, the latter dying of Demerara c. 1805, were the cousins of Joseph Littledale of Berbice and Thomas Littledale of Liverpool. The latter was in partnership as cotton-brokers with Isaac Littledale whose will proved in 1828 described Thomas as his partner and cousin.
