Personal life
Tillett's grandfather was liberal politician Jacob Henry Tillett, a former MP for Norwich and Mayor of Norwich (1875-1876). He married the daughter of Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery curator James Reeve, Ellen May in 1896; she died in 1905. Before his election to parliament, Tillett worked as a solicitor in Norwich.
After retirement from political life, Tillett was still involved with the local community and it was during the great floods of 1912, in Norwich, that he was attributed to helping a pregnant lady, risking his own life to get her to safety.
Tillett died in Buxton, Norfolk, at the age of 64. He was described as "widely-loved" in the obituary within the local paper, with "the streets lined with hatless and reverent spectators".
