The family origins are traced to Gawsworth , near Macclesfield , where the first William Rathbone was born in 1669 . It was his son, William Rathbone II , born on 22 May 1696 , who left Gawsworth for the growing port of Liverpool, where he worked as a sawyer and, it appears, established a timber business.
