HI
I am also researching the surname Sollitt my gg grandmother was a
sarah Sollitt born 1846-1850 bugthorpe.
In the 1881 census sarah was listed as widow at this point im not sure if sarah was a sollitt or married a sollitt because i cannot find her birth at the moment.
In 1887 sarah gave birth to ernest sollitt guisborough then 1887 daughter ada born guisboroug and last my g grandfather herbert Sollitt
born 1890 guisborough.
I have purchased herbert sollitt's birth which has the father's part
not known.
I did find sarah death a few year's back but did not write the info down
because i did not think sarah was related how wrong was i!.
So i need to get back on 1837 online and find sarah sollitt's death as sarah is under sollitt and herbert sollitt's death and marriage which hopefully will shed some light on who his father was a sollitt or was
sarah a sollitt?
Will let you know what i find out in the next few weeks.
When i see someone researching the surname sollitt i always message
as you never know

Hi Avongirl,
Pleased to hear from you and can't wait to see what you find out. I know what you mean, Sollitt researchers seem to be few and far between.
I did have a look on the 1881 census for Sarah and found her in the Guisborough Workhouse. Also there are these Sollitt children:
William 12 born York
Mary A 9 Fridaythorpe
Margaret 5 Loftus
Harriet 3 Loftus
Louisa 10 months Northallerton
If they were hers I guess Mr SOLLITT may have died and she and the children ended up there? I couldn't find anything on the IGI that fitted, no marriage or a birth/christening for William about 1868.
Maybe a lookup in the 1871 census around Fridaythorpe, might be helpful since Mary A was born there around that time.
best wishes

Hi
In the 1881 census list's sarah as a widow but had three more children
in 1884,1887 and 1890 all guisborough.
Mine is from herbert sollitt born 1890 and yes the sollitt line is very hard to find and i do intend to pay ancestry.com to search the census
in all years i think ill just have to purchase the deaths of herbert and sarah and the marriage of annie and herbert to find out anything.
I do wish the sollitt surname was easier to find out have you looked at the GenesReunited website?
I am a member at the moment and ill see what i can find out for you
if there is anyone that looks like they have a connection with your line

Hi all,
I've got a Sollitt connection from Huttons Ambo. She is Harriet Sollitt, born 1803 and Christened on 21 Aug 1803. You can find details of her Christening on the LDS website, her father was John Sollitt. She first married John Dinsdale in York in 1824 (I haven't followed this thread) and then married my relative James Whitfield sometime between 1831 and 1836. She appears in the UK census under her married name of Whitfield in 1841, 1851, and 1871 all in St Mary Bishophill in York. In 1851 she is listed as a widow and keeper of cows. I believe she must have died between 1871 and 1881 as she doesn't appear in the 1881 census.
Does this tie in with anyone else?

Hi Paul,
Yes, I know Harriet. :) She is a sister to my ancestor George born 1796, children of John SOLLITT & Mary LAWSON. I didn't know who she married but have since found to John DINSDALE she had, Thomas 1826, Eliza 1828, Sarah, 1830 & Robert 1832. Then to James WHITFIELD, William 1834, William 1836, James 1838 & James 1839.
In 1841 William WHITFIELD age 5 and Sarah & Eliza DINSDALE are living with James & Harriet.
John SOLLITT & Mary LAWSON married in 1789 at Sherriff Hutton.
children I have are
Ann 1790 Huttons Ambo
Elizabeth? 1792 Malton
Mary ? 1794 Malton
George 1796 Huttons Ambo
Harriet 1803 Huttons Ambo
Matthias 1806 Huttons Ambo
Hannah 1809 Huttons Ambo

Hi Sande,
Thanks for your reply. I found the 1841 census entry as soon as the census became available on line a couple of months ago. It's interesting that Harriet and James Whitfield's elder son William appears, but that James (my ancestor), their younger son (b.1838), doesn't. He would only have been about 7, so that's a bit of a mystery! Anyway, I'm pleased if I was able to add to your knowledge of your ancestors. If you manage to find a date for the marriage of Harriet and James Whitfield I would be interested.
Regards,
Paul

Avongirl,
It is almost a year since you first posted about your Sarah SOLLITT so you may well have sorted her out by now anyway.
If not, I was just wondering if she may been born Sarah PEACOCK that was baptised in Bugthorpe on 15 Aug 1847 daughter of Nicolas and Elizabeth PEACOCK.
On GRO marriage index a Sarah PEACOCK and William TOLLIT appear under the same reference for Sep Q 1865 Pocklington ref: 9d 109. This marriage is also on IGI as having taken place in Bugthorpe on 24 July 1865 but this time William's surname is transcribed as COLLIT ???
I can see a Sarah SOLLITT born abt. 1848 in Bugthorpe living in Yorkshire on 1871 census but I can not get the details for you. If you don't already have the information someone else on here may be able to do a look-up for you.

Avongirl,
I was doing some research from the Bugthorpe registers today so I checked out the marriage entry for Sarah PEACOCK and William. They both signed their names and his appears to be SOLLIT. However Sarah's father is George not Nicholas.
If you think it may be your lady let me know and I can give you the full details.

I was wondering about this too. Yesterday I found a George & Elizabeth PEACOCK on the 1851 census, only Peacocks in Bugthorpe.
PEACOCK George 35 Farm Labourer (b) Snape
Elizabeth 31 Bugthorpe
John 10 "
George 7 "
Sarah 3 "
Elizabeth 1 "
Then did a check on the IGI and the children are the same for Nicholas? and Elizabeth.
Children:
1. John (c) 14th Feb 1841 Bugthorpe
2. George (c) 10th Dec 1843 "
3. Sarah (c) 15th Aug 1847 "
4. Elizabeth (c) 11th Aug 1850 "
5. Charles Smith (c) 10th Oct 1852 "
And it appears William SOLLITT (b) 1843 is the son of Harper SOLLITT and Maria ?
And Harper (c) 4 Dec 1814 Westow is the son of William SOLLITT & Elizabeth HARPER.
On the 1871 census for Fridaythorpe
SOLLITT Harper Head Widow 56 Ag Lab Mennithorpe
Sarah dau-in-law M 23 Bugthorpe
Elizabeth g-dau 5 "
William g-son 2 Fridaythorpe
Hannah g-dau 5mts "
Avongirl I have more on these Sollitts if you would like. Though they don't appear to be related to mine at this stage.

Sande,
William's father was Harper the details of the marriage are:
24 July 1865 - Bugthorpe
Name/age/status/occupation/abode/father/father's occupation
William Sollat (sic)/22/Bachelor/farm servant/Buckthorpe/Harper Sollat/Laborour
Sarah Peacock/20/Spinster/Buckthorpe/George Peacock/Laborour
both signed (but spelt William Sollit)
Witnesses Robert Bielby and Hannah Weatherall (?)

Thanks for that Pinetree. This will be quite a surprise for Avongirl. I had done a bit of research on William awhile ago but had forgotton. I have him on the 1871 census somewhere too but can't find it at the moment. Think he was a Labourer working on a farm close by.
I'll be keeping my eye out for TOLLITS & COLLITS in the future. Another spelling I've come across is POLLIT. :)

Sande,
I've been looking into the ASHTON branch of my tree and have just discovered a Caroline ASHTON married Edward SOLLITT in York Registration District Jun Q 1868.
From 1881 census Caroline was born in Huntington abt. 1849 and Edward in Stillington abt. 1848.
Caroline is not a direct ancestor but I think I know how she fits into my tree but need to get to the records to prove it.
Just thought it was an interesting coincidence following this thread ;)

Sande,
Thanks for all the census information.
Will have to try and piece all this together - looks like there may be some connection with you SOLLITTs as Edward's Dad was from Hutton
All the best.

Hi Sande. Just registered with RootsChat and noticed you are researching the Sollitt family. You mentioned Fanny Sollitt. Well she was Fanny Layborn Smith and married my 3rd great grand uncle Thomas Sollitt (b 1839).According to my records I think she was his second wife. I would love to know what information you might have about the Sollitt family and how you are related. My grandmother was Evelyn Sollitt. Look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks.
Viv.

Hi Viv,
Thanks for your reply and glad to see someone is still researching the Sollitts. We are connected then, I think but through an earlier line.
My great grandmother was Fanney SOLLITT born in 1857 in Huttons Ambo. Her father was Dodson Sollitt, son of George Sollitt and Ann Dodson. Fanney married John Coulson and they came to Queensland, Australia in 1884 with the first four of their children and two of her brothers, Charles & Richard Sollitt. My grandmother, Alice was the first of the rest of their children born here.

Sorry I took so long
Yes Sarah is the Sarah Peacock and William was a servant
Still looking into who Herbert's father was
I have been told he was a Scottish salesman and every time he cane through Sarah Ended up preggers!
William Sarah's husband died in 1875 Guisborough
Which begs the question who were the father of Harriet born 1877
Louisa 1880
Plus three born in workhouse while in the workhouse! I always thought women and men were not allowed to have sexual relation inside?
but three times? With Ernest 1884, Ada 1887 and Herbert 1890 my branch
I did see the Guisborough head's were sacked could letting the men and women have further children one of the reasons?
Could anyone shine a light on this
Also Herbert's birth took 6 months to register has him born in workhouse
So....Suggestions anyone
