24: What is the 6 letter surname , still a well known name in menswear today, of Edward, who became a partner in a textile business in Manchester during the 1840s

[moonshadow]

Tootal ?

[novalis]

According to "Jeeves" Mr. Tootal's first name was Edward and he visited a Manchester friend in 1830. The dates aren't too far apart so I suspect Moonshadow has given you the right answer.
