Ann-Marie Are you wanting to come forward or go back?
Percy Sollitt was baptised at Owlerton 21 August 1889 born 6 Aug 1889. Son of Herbert Henry and Annie Sollitt of 23 Burnaby St. Father’s occupation Postman.
I have found this newspaper article from Sheffield Daily Telegraph 19 Jan 1916
Formerly a Sheffield Postman Mr Herbert Henry Sollitt who resided at 13 Ronald Rd, Darnall has been granted the Imperial Service Medal in recognition of long and meritorious service. Mr Sollitt who now lives at Douglas, Isle of Man, joined the Post Office in Sheffield as a telegraph messenger over 30 years ago. Bit by bit he worked his way up until he became acting head postman. During these years Mr Sollitt spent the greater part of his time in connection with the Post Office at Hillsborough and Attercliffe. He only retired last year.
Did Percy also go to the Isle of Man and that is why he cannot be found in the GRO records after his birth registration.
