Hi Tilburns, I didn't realise there were so many "out there", although I know that most Tilburns are from the Yorkshire area. My grandfather was James Ernest Tilburn born May 25, 1851 somewhere in Yorkshire. He married Mary Jane Kirby, born May 5 1861 at Paul, York. They had 12 children, one of them being my Father, Sidney Kirby Tilburn. It was while researching my cousin, Bob Tilburn, one of the survivors of the Battleship "Hood", that I decided to see if there were any other "Tilburns" around. My Father told me once that all the Tilburns were related. I am presently living in Hawaii in the U.S.A. Pamela Tilburn Mueller.
