George Little

I am seeking the antecedents of George Little (ca 1795 - 1846) He was apprenticed to Samuel Salmon and admitted to the Kings Inns in Michaelmas Term 1822
At this date he was already married with a young family. He must have been apprenticed at a mature age possibly about the time he married. It is possible that he had previously worked as a legal clerk for Salmon who employed agents in various districts across the country.

George Littles children were born in Cloghaun, Offaly and the youngest, Elizan was baptised in the parish of Gallen in 1822 but there is no record of baptism for his older children in the Gallen parish register.

George Little began to practice as an attorney in Birr, Offaly County after his admission as a barrister. He is listed as one of five attorneys practising in Birr in 1823 (Appendix to Cookes The early history of the town of Birr or Parsontown 1875
Pigot & Co.s Directory also lists him as an attorney in Cumberland St, Birr in 1824.
His wifes family, the Blakeleys, owned property in Frankford (Kilcormac). Mrs Blakely is listed there in 1823 amongst the gentry. She is presumably the woman with whom George Little contested the ownership of the Frankford mills in 1835 and was presumably the sister-in-law of his deceased wife, Mary Blakeley. The Dublin Almanac and General Register of Ireland in 1841 lists Little, George, sol. 41 Dominick st. Lr. and Cloghan, Kings county.(Queens bench, Common Pleas and Equity)
