Abraham Mather 
Abraham was born about 1736 in Bolton.Birth Notes
One Baptism is for Abraham, son of Richard Mather, March 1744 in Manchester. This is too late as he would only be 13 when married. Also there is no John baptism (and expected brother).
Another baptism is Abraham son of John and Martha from Haslingden, baptised 1723. This is too early, as he would be 34 when marrying and starting a family spanning 20 years.
