I wonder if you can help me chase details of my late Nan who Danced with the Tiller Girls around the 1960's I believe. Her Name is Dawn Hoskins, or possible Dawn Green. If you have any information or picture's I would be grateful if you could send them on.

Thanks

Ref: Ann Calvert

My name is Ann Calvert & my mum Joan Suter was a Tiller Girl between about 1943 – 1947.

I was a Tiller between 1967 – 1969. If anyone remembers my mum or myself please contact me, we would love to hear from you.

Ref: Emily Drake.

I hope that one of the ex-Tiller Girls from the 1960’s may be able to help Dawn solve a mystery about one of her relatives.

Dawn thinks her relative was called Emily Drake and was born in 1885. Evidently Emily became a dancer and moved to America where it is thought she danced with the Blue Bell Girls and possibly the Tiller Girls.

Emily came back to the UK for a time between 1965 and 1972 and made the newspapers while she was here by taking to the stage with Tiller Girls at a Palladium show while in her 70,s. Dawn did have a copy of the Newspaper cutting but it has been lost, she would be grateful to hear from anyone who can remember this event.

I was very excited to find your web site as I am an "old" Tiller girl from the 60/70's looking for friends. I joined the Tillers in 1968, my first show being with Frankie Vaughan at the Glasgow Empire. After numerous other summer/winter seasons we were split up and half of the troupe went to Paris and" me "with the other half went to South Africa with Mike & Bernie Winters being the top act. I stayed in SA and got married and have recently returned to UK to live again. I would dearly love to find some close friends from those days namely - SUE FINCH, ROSEMARY WILTSHIRE & AMBER BUCK. I understand that they are probably married and have different names now.

As I was reading your web site I came across the name Faye Robinson who was my head girl when I was with the troupe. Also Eileen Lindsay was in some of the shows that I performed in. Sorry for the long e-mail but hope you can help me. Sue was from Nottingham area, Rosie from Stroud and Amber from Portsmouth. kind regards Sandra Willis (Nee Howarth)

Hi

I’m trying to locate Glennis Quinn who used to be a tiller girl along with my mother (Eileen Lindsay) in the 1960’s and 70’s. She was from Wadworth near Doncaster, and I believe she must have left tillers in about 1970. Any details please to

Thanks, Emma Hudson .
Note. Glennis's son has been in contact and hopefully Eileen and Glennis will be in contact very soon.

Hi there Bernie
I am looking to find Ros, I cant remember her surname, we were Tillers together in 1962 in Gt Yarmouth ‘The Lonnie Donegan Show’, we went on to tour with Winifred Atwell and Dickie Valentine afterwards. There are other girls that were in the show I would love to know how they are and what they have been up to, Nina and Julie specifically. I'm sorry I do not remember any surnames. I was known as Patricia O’Connor, we were all very young, I was 15.
