Al.
This post was a Long time ago but I have a much earlier Tills in My family tree from Colchester.
this is
Newton Tills he was Mayor Of Colchester in 1793 he was said to be a surgeon working in Colchester his son was John Newton Tills was born in Colchester. My Grandfathers Notes state:
Studied for the Medical profession but did not complete his training as he could not stand the scenes of the operation theatre. He became a wine merchant in the city of London, but failed. He was afterwards Accountant in the Firm of Wyatt's Cement Manufacture. He Died of Cholera in 1833 after a few hours illness.
I don't have the name of his wife but he had a son John Tills a Wine Merchant of St John St London. who married Harriet Harris
I don't know if there is any connection.
