Harry Tillison emigrated to Canada and served in both the 60th Rifles of Canada and the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force in the first world war from January 17th 1916.
The attestation paper states his father as John Tillison.
England & Wales FreeBMD Birth Record for Harry Tillison
It is likely that John married Alice Gibbs in Rochdale in Q3 1895, according to this page.
I'd say that it's reasonable to assume that John was born in Ontario, Canada in c1873 and his father is Thomas Tillison, born in York. Although without paying $375 to subscribe to ancestry.com, I won't be finding out any time soon.
A Thomas Tillison also appears in the Federal Census of Canada, 1871 (Ontario Index). I assume that this is the same Thomas Tillison as his birth place is listed as Scarborough, York East, b. c1835.
In the same residence are;
Agnes Tillison, b. Scarborough c1851
Jane Tillison, b. Scarborough c1864
Samuel Tillison, b. Scarborough c1871 (assumed as there's no date)
