Anthony Littledale

No Dates


Biography

Husband of Mary Littledale (nee Dawson) (q.v.) and probably the partner of his brother-in-law John Bolton (q.v.) in Bolton & Littledale. This latter has proved surprisingly difficult to confirm in Liverpool sources but appears clear from Privy Council case in 1830 concerning the Waterloo estate in Demerara, in which Mary Littledale as executrix of Anthony Littledale and John Bolton represented the firm of Bolton & Littledale. Anthony Littledale was dead by 1825. Alfred and Anthony Littledale had been slave factors in Demerara c. 1805.
