Tillings from leicester
Hi, I have been researching my family history for 5 years on my paternal side, so thought I'd better start my maternal family history!I am looking for tillings of Leicester many of whom came to Nottingham.Family rumour has it that our brach got extradited from Leics to Notts about the time of the Luddites, for their involvement iwith the movement. Whether this is true is unknown.Other family legend has it that one of the Tillings invented the Penny farthing but his idea was nicked, because he hadn't a patent.My grandma was Mary Lois Tilling who Married Fred Johnson, Her siblings include Francis Maude (Maudie) who married Amos Whittaker, Florence Hilda (Hilda), George, Joseph Stanley (Stan) who married Grace?? then Muriel, Helen (Nelly)who married Horace Barnes, Ronald (Ron)who married Mary.I also remember her two cousins who are twins Jean and Mavis, and I believe one of them has done an extensive family tree on this side of the family.I would love to get in touch with any members of this family, distant or close,
