Hello GuyHenry............This is indeed a mystery.........
Re: Arthur Tilley, b.1892...........He died without issue and was killed in WW1. My info is taken from: My War (WW1) book which says that Arthur LLewllyn Tilley was the son of Charles H. (b.c.1856). Charles is on the 1871 and the 1881 census as ...son of LLewellyn Tilley, b.c.1826 Gloucestershire and Elizabeth his wife, b. 1829, Abergavenny. They were confectioners living in Orchard St., which is a small street running a right angles to Long St.
There are 2 other sons mentioned.... John, b.c.1862 and Lewis, b.c.1864 and then Kate, b.c.1868.
Blanche M is mentioned next, b.c.1870. On the 1881 cens.....There is a cousin Glen Tilley, b.c.1862. Bath, Somerset. I hope to sort my printer tomorrow, then I can check.
I wonder if Lewis might be a candidate? ......The book has opted for the wrong son?.....We are very close. Hopefully tomorrow I can check.

nb: If there were 2 Arthurs.....living in close proximity..... might one be called Brymnor?
see: Thursday 22 Feb. post. I did all this then checked the old messages...Doh! wrong way round!
