Hi , I am in touch with quite a few Tattums, some still live around Bagillt/ Holywell. some on the Wirral and some in the Bournemouth area.
 We don't appear to be connected to the Tattum's of Mold, but if we are I think it was before 1780. it would be great ti connect them. We were always told that they came originally from Cornwall, did you ever hear that?

Hi again,

There doesn't seem to be a connection.
I'm up to 1740 with my Mold/Gwernaffield Tattums - Thomas Tattum b.Mold(1740) married Margaret Williams. His male children (to continue the Tattum line) were all born 1775-1780s so it would have to be even further back again  Perhaps one of his brothers, uncles, or even grandparents - who knows

There's a lot these days now in the Lancashire area. I don't know whether you mean your Tattums, or the Tattum families in general, but I've heard from originally (generally), it's Yorkshire. I only got that information about a year ago from looking at a family crest though, so it could be wrong.

Hi, I know this continues a post from an age ago but I'm related to the Tattums of Bagillt too.

My Great Grandparents are Captain John Davies and Rebecca Tattum, I know that he died on his ship in Alexander Dock, Liverpool on 10 November 1903, does anyone know any more of this story??

With hopeful thank, Suzie

Hello Suzie

That sounds interesting, I wonder what happened to John Davies, he must only have been about 35?  Although I have John and Rebecca in my tree, I'm afraid I don't know anything about this story, sorry.  However, I imagine there might have been a piece in the County Herald about this if you have access to old newspapers.  This paper seems to have a lot of reports about Bagillt, and as Rebecca seemed to be living with her mother at Coetia Gwyn, Bagillt when John was at sea, there might be an obituary or something.

The only info I have about John and Rebecca is:

MARRIAGE: St Mary's, Bagillt
Jan 30 1895.
John Davies.       26    Bachelor.    Mariner. Bagillt.   Father John (Deceased. )
Rebecca Tattum. 26.  Spinster.                   Bagillt.   Father John. Lab.
Witnesses. Stephen Davies. and Mary Ashford Tattum.

Baptism. Sep 29 1895. Mary Edith Davies D/O John & Rebecca. Bagillt. Sailor.

Did they have 4 children: Mary, John, George and Catherine?

Sorry I can't help, but I hope someone else can.

Francis Ewart Gladstone Tattum (1898-1977) married Violet Mearns Unsworth, my grandmother's sister, in 1926. They had one child, Granville who married Beryl Bunce in 1952 and they had two children: David & Helen.

I have Frances Ewart Gladstone Tattum in my tree but knew little about him. ' Francis' is very much a family name of the Tattums and 'Ewart Gladstone', I think suggests that the family were Liberals as Francis was clearly named after William Ewart Gladstone the Prime Minister who lived only about 10 miles from Bagillt

Uncle Ewart was a Conservative, whatever his parent's political views might have been when he was born! He was Alderman (Mayor) of Flint in 1960. I have a pic if interested?
