Administrative / Biographical History

Robert Siddall, or Sydalle, was an apothecary and physician in Manchester in the seventeenth century. He was possibly baptised in 1573 (Robert son of Robert Sydall), or in 1582 (Robert son of Thomas Sydall). He married Ellen Leigh in 1603. Siddall died on 30 Aug 1645. An inventory of his good made after his death does not appear to include any medical items. In 1663, Ellen, the wife of Mr Robert Siddall, physician of Manchester, was buried.
