a useful bit of info in the 1911 census might be the correction made by the Ancestry user, correcting Sillett to Tillett for the surname

the correction was made in 2014 and the user last signed in to the site this month, and can be contacted through Ancestry if you think they might be related ... I have met several cousins through such corrections, by them or me
