Family History Details

Matthew Tootell was probably the son of another Matthew Tootell who was a clockmaker in St. Helen's, Lancashire. A few examples of Matthew Sr.'s fine workmanship still exist today.

According to Sue Hurst, there is a record of Matthew Tootell being from "Hardshaw" in Windle (which was near St. Helens) [15].

Matthew and Ann Tootell were Roman Catholics and raised their children as such, unlike their descendants [7].
