Maureen, we hope a lister can answer your question, as we also wonder when and where BEGGAN first got anglicised to LITTLE, especially in Rossorry, Enniskillen, and Aghalurcher parishes. In addition to England, in the 1600s, Dumfries Scotland contained lots of folk named LITTLE, and we are pretty sure some of them moved to Fermanagh. We wonder if my LITTLEs near Enniskillen in 1700s were originally BEGGANs, or did they descend from the Scots. One clue may be that mine pronounced it 'Light-el', and finally changed the spelling to LIGHTLE after emigrating to Upper Canada 1818. Doug
