Tillett's grandfather was Liberal politician Jacob Henry Tillett, MP for Norwich and Mayor of Norwich (1875-1876).[5] He married the daughter of Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery curator James Reeve, Ellen May in 1896; she died in 1905.[6] Before his election to parliament, Tillett worked as a solicitor in Norwich.[7]
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.[8][9]
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".[5]
