Tillot Family Tree

Leonard Tillott was on his holiday in Cornwall where he picked up one of my business cards.

Initially, he wanted a family tree chart done for his neighbour as a thank you present, apparently she was delighted. Leonard decided he would also like to trace his own roots and have his own family tree.

Although Tillott is quite an unusual name, it has over the years had a tendency to be mis-transcribed as Tillett/Tullett/Tallett to name a few.

By looking at all the censuses ,I was able to plot Leonard's tree on the Tillott side to Daniel William Tillott born St Pancras 1844 and then by obtaining a marriage certificate, I discovered a Samuel Tillett a mason born in Bristol 1803

By googling the name and birth place I came across www.tillett.org.uk .

The Website belonged to Rev. Selwyn Tillett from Norfolk He had remarkably researched his family tree back to Thomas Tillett abt 1574 from Winterbourne near Bristol and managed to make a link to Leonard's family tree chart .

Leonard and Selwyn are now in touch!
