Document:
Recently, a very helpful chap by the name of Paul Dobson sent me an email through GenesReunited about some pictures he had found in a box of his grandmother's photos. I have reproduced the majority of the dialogue below - it should be self explanatory. If you can provide any more information about Lily, her ancestors or descendents, please contact me or post a comment.
and another inscribed "best wishes, Dacre and Lily".
and another of just the parents.
I don't know if Lily was a relation ar just a friend of my grandmother's, but if you think the pictures are of some of your relatives, please let me know and I will get some copies sorted out. I've allowed yuo access to my tree just in case there is a family connection.
Lez - thanks for getting in touch. My Grandma was born in 1895, so the Lily Lytollis pictured with her would have been born around the same time - making your Lilian 1896 quite likely to be the lady in the picture.
I'll get the pictures scanned in and sent to you as soon as I can.
Lez, As promised, here are copies of the photographs that I have. I hope there's someone there that you recognise - please let me know if there is,it would be nice to know, and find out who Lily Lytollis was. The young lady with the dark hair who doesn't look quite the same as the others is my grandmother Mary Howe - she's on the right of the picture called"lilymaryh".
there is the message form Lily to my grandma which reads " ..with brothers, front row you know apart from brother's wife at end of row".
I also have a picture of Dacre Reed with his Army number "Gunner D. Reed" on the back.
Lez - another piece of information I've just discovered today is that Lily Lytollis moved to Middlesbrough with husband Dacre Reed. They had three sons and Dacre worked for ICI.
As a child, Lily lived in Newbottle near Houghton, and went to school with my grandmother. I vaguely remember visiting the Reeds in Middlesbrough as a small child.
You're correct - Lily appears to have been a friend of my Grandmother's (my dad's mother, Mary Dobson nee Howe, of Garden street,Newbottle - the street is still there). When I originally saw the amount of photos, I thought she may have been a relative, but my mam remembers that Lily was a family friend when mam met my dad. Grandma was also Lily's bridesmaid.
I would be happy for you to use the pictures on the Lytollis website, andwould be interested to know if you are able to put any more names to the faces apart from Lily.
18. JAMES4 LYTOLLIS (ROBERT3, JOSEPH2, ROBERT1) was born 1867 in 'Hamlet' Cumberland or Durham Felling (Source: 1881 census Heworth/registration index), and died Unknown (Source: 1901 census.). He married MARGARET A 1892 in South Shields. She was born Abt. 1875 in Durham, Hebburn (Source: 1901census.).
Children of JAMES LYTOLLIS and MARGARET A are:i. MAY BEATRICE5 LYTOLLIS, b. December 1893, Durham Hebburn.
ii. LILLIAN REBECCA LYTOLLIS (Source: 1901 census.), b. December 1896,Durham, South Shields.
iii. JAMES RAYMOND LYTOLLIS, b. May 1899, South Sheilds 10a 850; d.September 1900, South Sheilds 10a 406.
iv. EDITH MAUD LYTOLLIS, b. June 1901, Durham South Shields 10a 817; d.September 1901, Durham South Shields 10a 536.
This Lily would be the right age to be the Lily in the photos. Perhaps they moved from the Burton House in Shields to Newbottle after 1901 -perhaps.
Yes, this is the Lillian I *think* fits in with your pictures. You have almost as much info as I do from the site.
He had a first wife (name unknown) and they had children Thomas (1863) and James (1867) . James married Margaret A and they had Lillian Rebecca (1896) - I do not have any further information for Lillian and Dacre's children but at least that gives us possible names to Lillian's parents.
Robert's (1838) second wife Jane Miller (1858) had children Robert, Mason, Elizabeth, Joseph and William (1895) - William was (probably) my grandfather as my father certainly had an uncle Joseph and aunt Elizabeth.
So (I'm still getting used to all the terminology) James would be my grandfather's half brother and Lililan would be my father's (half?) cousin (I originally had another Robert and Jane as my great grandparents making the only other Lillian in the tree my father's cousin, so this is really confusing!) making Lillian's children my 2nd cousins I think.
Seems like an age ago now, but on 23 March, 2005, Clare and I were married in Osaka, Japan. I meant to to write a whole new blog site about our experiences there, but somehow we just caught up in the routine again and I haven't even managed to post the photos, so here's one of our big day. The sharp-eyed among you will notice that we do not have our formal Wedding outfits on - that's because we walked in to a registry office, got our friend Barry to write some Japanese, signed our names and we were married. Also it was cold and raining and these were the warmest clothes we had! It may not sound like the most romantic wedding day to you, but we had two unforgettable weeks in Japan.
Here’s the story of the family from 1803.Robert Lighttallers, from whom the whole Lytollis family spring, first appeared in Carlisle on the St Cuthbert Parish registers when he married Jane Mason in 1803.
She was a local girl but Robert must have come from outside the area as there are no records before this of any brothers, sisters or parents in the Carlisle area.
I think it was most probable that he was part of the Lightollers family from Lancashire and West Yorkshire and he came to Carlisle during the boom years of handloom weaving. Weaving was taking off in the area at the time and people with the right skills were arriving from Lancashire and Ireland. There are possible links in Wibsey, near Bradford, Yorkshire and Chorley, Brindley and Preston in Lancashire. Many of these families were involved in the weaving industry. The name Lightoller itself originates from the manor of Lightowlers near Littleborough , Lancashire first recorded in 1296.
Robert and Jane had two children. The first was baptised on the 21st of May 1803 at St Cuthbert’s. Their second child, Joseph was baptised on the 19th February 1806. Unfortunately the first child, John, died just after this in March leaving only Joseph to carry on the line.Robert was first recorded at his marriage and birth of his first son as a ‘weaver’ but by the time John died he was a ‘soldier.’ This was during the Napoleonic wars when there was a call up in every locality. All men between 18 and 45 were required to be registered for the local Militia. Records of Robert Lighthallows of Carlisle appear in the Quarter Sessions for Lancaster. He was in the Lancaster Militia and there are petitions for maintenance for his wife and children dated 1804 and 1807. He is recorded as a ‘substitute’ for John Sutcliffe of Lancaster (this means that he was paid by John Sutcliffe to serve in his place). Jane remarried in August 1808 so we can only assume that he died or was killed in service late1807. As he was in the Lancaster Militia and serving as a substitute for someone from Lancaster this seems to point towards him being originally from the Lancashire area.
Jane’s remarriage to Michael Ward begins a Ward/Lytollis confusion. (Joseph b.1806 was only two at the time and at least three more Ward children were born) The families descended from Joseph, throughout the next 100 years, usually referred to themselves as various spellings of Lytollis in church records but as sometimes as Ward in the censuses. (I met a lady in Carlisle who was brought up as a Ward but later found she was in fact a Lytollis.)The spelling of the name changed frequently over the next 100 years among others there are Lightallers, Lighttollous, Lytallis, Littallis, Litellus, Litollus, Letillus, and Lytellon. Of course very few people could write at the time and it was left up to the parish clerk or vicar to listen to the name and do as best he could.
How the name came to be spelt the Lytollis throughout the family by the early 20th century is a mystery….I can only assume that the family was still very close and the message got round!
Joseph married Elizabeth Irving in 1825 and the dynasty really got going. (Mason and Irving became family Christian names) Elizabeth and Joseph went to live at Tarraby, a hamlet near Carlisle where her family was based. They had at least ten children over the next 25 years. As the children got married they seemed to have set up as an extended family community in the Kingstown area (3 miles north of Carlisle). There are still weaver’s Cottages in California Road where some of the family lived. Nearly all of them were handloom weavers of cotton until the 1860/1870’s when there was a downturn in the industry due to the American Civil War.Most of the children were baptised in Houghton Church but some in Rockcliffe and Blackmoor.
From his point they started having different occupations and ‘emigrating’, mostly going across the Pennines to Gateshead and Newcastle using the new railway. This trend seems to have been started by the Grahams who were neighbours of the Lytollis’s and intermarried with them. Two of George Graham’s brothers went to live in Felling and Jane, his daughter followed with Robert Lytollis her husband. I think others probably followed too.At some time after 1910 some of the family moved to Haltwhistle. Now there are three main centres of Lytollis - Carlisle, Haltwhistle and the Newcastle area.
There are about 60 other families with the name dotted all over England and also one or two in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA.
This is the first 5 generations of Lytollises. There are definitely some missing. I have tried to exclude any individuals born less than 90 years ago for privacy's sake but have this information if anyone is interested.

At the time of writing, the earliest Linda has traced the family tree is to around 1803, when Robert Lightallers a Weaver, married Jane Mason (b. 1782) in Carlisle. When their second child Joseph was born he was recorded as a soldier. Jane remarried (Michael Ward) two years after this in 1808, so we can assume Robert died or was killed whilst a soldier. No other records that fit Robert Lightallers have been found in any other part of the country to date, but it is most probable that he was part of the Lightollers family from Lancashire and West Yorkshire and that he went to Carlisle during the boom years of handloom weaving as many people did.
It is not clear how our family name became commonly spelled as Lytollis and for a hundred years or so down the tree from Robert Lightallers, many variations have been found. I have listed them below from the records I have from Linda.
Lightallers, Litellus, Litollus, Lightollers, Letillus, Lytellon, Littellus, Littollas, Letellus, Lytallous, Lighttollous, Lytollas, Lytallis, Lyttallis, Litholis, Litholin.
OK! Here it is at last! I've had the domain name for a few years with the intention of starting a genealogy site for my family name but never got around to putting any content on here (mainly becuase I never got around to doing much research!). Linda has been researching the Lytollis name for about 15 years and most of what you see here in the coming weeks and months has been researched by Linda. Expect posts here from her very soon.
