Littlefair family surname

The Littlefair family surname is of special interest to me. Although their numbers have included Sheriffs of Nottingham, the surname is overwhelmingly concentrated in the old County Durham and has been for many centuries, although there were significant branches in Yorkshire, Northumberland and Lancashire. Most of the Littlefairs in the North East can be traced to Cockfield village between Teesdale and Weardale. My father Albert Littlefair Simpson has put together a website of his extensive research on the Littlefair family which can be visited at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/littlefair/
