seaJane Posted 6 February , 2019 Share Posted 6 February , 2019 Probably worth trying the Museum of Army Chaplaincy for the latter, whose first name was Joseph - https://www.chaplains-museum.co.uk/. Ancestty message board says Cuthbert Joseph was Joseph's father https://www.ancestry.co.uk/boards/surnames.harwood/319.2.1/mb.ashx and if you follow the message trail down it looks as if one of the posters may have family photographs. It is just possible (looking at the messages in the thread again) that he was a Methodist chaplain in which case http://www.methodistheritage.org.uk/research-circuitarchives.htm Googling "harwood little"+chaplain picks up London Gazette entries.

Many thanks seaJane. Joseph Harwood is the father of C.J.H. Little, plenty of circles as C.1911, MiD card and Army lists all named to Harwood Little, duplicates to Joseph Harwood. The photos listed on Ancestry are documents & family crest only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain indeed; My better half suggested I could sell them - and give the seller half the proceeds..... I think not. I thought the O.B.E. was a Red Cross award of some sort before I googled it.

HolymoleyRE Posted 7 February , 2019 Share Posted 7 February , 2019 (edited) Plenty of newspaper articles for both the Rev J & Dr CJH Little OBE, plus written articles in the Lancet, Dr Little OBE seems to have been a pathologist for the Worthing area. Sorry no photos as yet, but have found his Sister and Rev J's daughter. Andy Edited 7 February , 2019 by HolymoleyRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
