James Tilbury & Charlotte Ballard
25 December 1824
His wife-to-be Charlotte BALLARD is born in Herefordshire. Her father is John BALLARD. In the 1851 and 1861 Censuses, John BALLARD is a Farmer of over 200 acres.
29 May 1855
James age 35 a bachelor marries Charlotte BALLARD age 31 a spinster, in the parish of St. George's, Hanover Square, but he is shown on the marriage certificate as James SILBURY. (The witnesses were Martin RICHARDS and Mary HALL.)
The name Silbury is very rare if it exists at all and so I am convinced that the Minister misheard Tilbury as Silbury. More worrying is the profession of John Ballard whom I know to have been a farmer. He is shown as a shoemaker. However Robert Tilbury is shown as a farmer, so it is possible that the Minister got farmer and shoemaker the wrong way round. - MichaelK.

The owners of "The George and Dragon" are Wethereds Brewery. Their Repairs Book lists three payouts by the Royal Exchange for fire damage. These are £5.10.0 on 16 September 1879, £15.0.0 on 25 February 1881 and £9.15.0 on 1 September 1884. However the Ledger of Beer Sales shows that beer sales at "The George and Dragon" are unaffected.

25 January 1901
James suffers acute bronchitis and dies in the Workhouse.
From daughter Charlotte Ann's Bible
Seeing how well off all of his five children were, it seems surprising that James ended in the Workhouse. By 1879, he was 58 and had lost his wife through death and both his daughters through marriage. The fact that none of his five children felt able to care for him suggests dementia or other mental illness as the reason for him entering the Workhouse. - MichaelK.

The Printshop
In Google Books, there are references to Fred. Tilbury and Les Presses Tilbury as printers from as early as 1897 to as late as 1955 so it looks as though Fred Tilbury started up again after the First World War as Les Presses Tilbury. In 1937, the address of Les Presses Tilbury was 116 Rue Sans-Souci, Ixelles, Bruxelles. It seems as though the company is now defunct. - MichaelK.
