William Andrew Chatto

The only son of William Chatto, a merchant who died at Gibraltar in 1804, was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne on 17 April 1799.

After education at a grammar school in the north, he went into business, and around 1830 acquired the firm of his cousin, a wholesale tea-dealer, in Eastcheap, London.

For this paper, which he edited himself, he secured the services of contributors including Tom Taylor, but it had only a brief existence.

[1] In 1839, Chatto was elected an honorary member of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-on-Tyne.

He died in the London Charterhouse, 28 February 1864, and was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery (plot no.12990).
