Tatton

Tatton

We know of JW Tatton's exploits in both the dental and mineral fields. His son Arthur William, born in Nelson in 1861, went into practice with his father and there have been subsequent Tattons who have become dentists. Claude Egerton Tatton, Arthur's son, also practised in his grandfather's building in Trafalgar Street, in partnership with a Mr Spiers. He went to the USA and brought back one of the first dental X-ray machines in New Zealand. He contracted TB from a patient and died at at an early age leaving nine children.
