Hello Alison,

Saw your post re John Little jnr in 1861.

In my opinion it is definitely him at Duddingston, Midlothian with wife Margaret.

John Little 20 born Dumbarton, bolth (Ancestry - should be bottle?) blower, journeyman, lodger
Margarit Little 19 wife, born Greenock

You're confusing me here! - didn't I post that on RootsChat ? I can answer here though!
It did seem possible but I have never been sure. I found it right at the beginning of my searches when I wasn't even certain which John I was chasing, didn't expect Edinburgh.

I have a growing feeling that the father and son didnt get on. It's possible that John Two's mother and two of his sisters died, and he certainly had a stepmother and many half-siblings.
He was in Glasgow in the 1860s, not apparently working with his father, then moved to Dublin, then to South Africa. Elusive everywhere. Came to his father's funeral, though. - Alison

Must be the origin of Borron Street in Port Dundas.
