Local. From the town of Tattersall, in Lincolnshire, England.
The Tattersalls, who are now numerous in the Burnley district, owned the Holme estate in the ancient parish of Whalley in the 14th century: in the reign of Henry VIII. there was a family of this name at Rigge in the same parish (W. W.). In the 13th century Tatsalle and Tatsal were characteristic Lincolnshire names, and were evidently derived from Tattershall, a town in that county. In Norfolk and Suffolk they were then represented mostly by De Tatishale and De Tateshal (H. R.).
