Hi Angela
Thank you so much for this info – I never knew anything like this re Herbert Sollitt ( my gr gfather).
I know that Herbert married again to Gertrude Sarah Sanders 12.01.1913 @ Holy Trinity Darnall. Percy was a witness to this….I am not sure when he (Herbert) moved to IoM, but his other son Kirk was living in Onchan IoM 1916 – his daughter Marion was born there, as was her son Ivan Kirk Sollitt.
Herbert died in 1946/ Gertrude died 1951 and Ivan died 1999 – they are all in St Peters churchyard Onchan.
Re Percy – I have found a Percy Sollitt in 1911 census – where he is listed as a servant in an asylum – additionally, I note that a Percy Sollit enlisted as a private with Northumberland Fusiliers 1914 – 1918 but nothing else.
I cannot find anything about Percy on the IoM.
Re Kirk Sollitt – he died in Ramsey Cottage Hospital IoM aged 32 – I cannot find any details re graves/burials.
Consequently, I would be extremely grateful, if you can find anything going forward re Percy and anything re Kirk Sollitt re his last resting place
With grateful thanks
Ann-Marie
