DEATH OF MR. JAMES TATTERSALL
The death, yesterday afternoon, of Mr. James Tattersall, of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, removes a familiar figure from Manchester cotton trade circles. Mr. Tattersall had been a member of the Royal Exchange for 40 years or more. Up to a few days ago the deceased gentleman was the representative for Messrs. C. and J. Walmsley, grey cloth agents, of Manchester. Two of the late Mr. Tattersall's sons are well known on "'change," and another son is the Rev. S. O. Tattersall, Wesleyan minister, of Cardiff.

The Manchester Courier Thursday November 3, 1904
Mr. James Tattersall, who for more than forty years had been a member of the Manchester Royal Exchange, passed away yesterday afternoon at his residence at Chorlton-cum-Hardy. He was a well-known figure in cotton trade circles, having at one time been a manufacturer, and latterly a grey cloth salesman. Up to three or four years ago he was the representative for Messrs. C. and J. Walmsley, grey cloth agents, of this city, a firm which some time ago ceased to exist after a long career. Mr. Tattersall had been ailing for about two years, during which time he keenly felt his enforced absence from the "boards." Two of his sons are well known on 'Change. Another son is the Rev. S. O. Tattersall Wesleyan minister, of Cardiff.
