  Notes	While his house was still being built [abt 1835] my Father became tenant of a small house at the top of Highgate Hill, (afterwards called West Hill), next a narrow lane, on the north side leading down to Swains Lane. ... A dear old lady [sic; then aged abt 35], a Miss Tatham, a distant cousin of ours and sister of an Admiral Tatham, used to call the house 'Ramshackle Hall', because, I suppose, we were all what is called rather higgledy-piggledy in it. [Charles Tatham Recollections] not found in 1841 census. "Writing 5 Feb., 1903, George H. Tatham says that he has in his possession a Queen Anne Coffee-pot, which is of considerable antiquity and belonged to his great-grandfather Ralph [Tatham, of Stockton, 1732-1779, who m. Elizabeth Bloxham; see p.18], which was given him by his aunt Elizabeth [b.1800, eldest child of the said Ralph Tatham's eldest son, Thomas Tatham], upon which are engraved the Bloxham and Tatham Arms. As to the reference to the Bloxham and Tatham Arms, said to be engraved on the Queen Anne Coffee-pot, the original letter from Miss Elizabeth Tatham, dated 20 Dec., 1875,* when forwarding the Coffee-pot to George H. Tatham, on the occasion of his wedding, two days later, evidently misled him, owing to its loose wording. She says: 'The Arms quartered and engraved upon it are those of our ancestors on the Tatham side, the Butler and Bloxham families.' *At this time, Miss Elizabeth Tatham says she has had the Coffee-pot in her possession 'for more than 50 years', i.e., since 1825 or earlier; and that, in 1875, she 'could trace it in the possession of various members of our family for more than 150 years', i.e., until 1725, or earlier."
