General Notes
Abraham was born 1723 at Church Hill, Haslingden, son of John a feltmaker and Martha.
Another Abraham Mather married Grace Topper at Great Harwood (7 miles NNW) 19 July 1746. It cant be this Abraham, as the baptism records of his children (starting 1744) name the mother as Ann.
In 1775, Sarah, daughter of Abraham and Lydia (not Ann) was born. It must be the same Abraham as abode is Lower Lane, Haslingden, and Abraham's son Abraham is too young to be a father. There is no record of a marriage or death of Lydia, so it is assumed Lydia and wife Ann are the same person.
In 1790, Anne and Abraham (of Town) both died in April, two weeks appart
