• General Notes
  • Betty is Solomon and Matty's first child, baptised 3 Jul 1971. They went along to the Presbyterian Walmsley Chapel with James and Betty Mather (from Goose Cote Hill) who had their daughter Margaret baptised the same day.  These were the only two baptisms at Walmsley that day.
    
    In 1841, there is Betty Mather (50), in the Bolton Union Workhouse.  This is the right age, so could be her if she didnt marry.
    
    In 1851 Betty Mather (64) was cotton weaver in the Turton Workhouse.  However her place of birth is Westhoughton so may not be her!
    
    In 1861 Betty Mather (71) is still in the workhouse, and still shown as born at Westhoughton.  It may be her, but she was baptised at Walmsley.
    
    A Betty Mather married James Makinson (Farmer) in Bolton 29-Nov-1813, which is a perfect age match!
