syrup thanks so much for that but nothing rings bell or means anything, after taking mum out 2day katherine was not herbert or josephs sibbling, but was a gillott and scarey thought i hold some resemblence, mum gets tad muddled but thinks she was their aunt, apparantly she had sibblings harry and a sister non ever married, she thinks the sister did begin with e possibly edna but not sure, nor am i anymore. as i said as far as i knew my gramps and my great uncle but whom was always known as great aunt kit also has huge impact on my memory. I feel i am taking up your time but wen subscribsing 2 certain sites i come up with nothing...... , i do now have article no's of great aunt kits coloum the last entry in her scrap book, top and bottom of her page are gone in her hand no 160 article no 2/11/23 apples

:-) feel like i sud not be asking questioning and maybe i will never know , so sorry for as i feel pestering

Re:" formydadmg " posting on August 4, 2012, I may be way out of time here but I've only just come upon Sheffield History. I lived only 100 yards away from Herbert Arnold Gillott's family on Hoober Avenue, near High Storrs, Sheffield, in the 1940's and 50's. Michael was a few years older than me but we knew one anorher well. My great memory is of Michael occasionally driving us to school (King Edwards) in a Sheffield United coach that was contracted to do the school run, presumably when there was trouble with the Corporation transport. Michael had got a PSV licence and drove part-time for SUT.

We also treasure a beautiful mother-of-pearl coffee spoon and small butter knife that the Gillott family gave us for a wedding present in 1962. We left Sheffield to live in Worksop after we were married and I heard no more about Michael and his sister, Ann.

Hi All

I remember working with Michael Gillatt, as a young Coach Driver at SUT (National Travel East) at Charlotte Rd back in the late 1970s... I later met up with him again about 10 years later working for Richardsons Travel he was working there like myself has a part time Coach Driver, New to the forum I am very sad to see that Michael died in 2011 he was a nice kind and helpful guy and help me a lot at that time .. RIP
