General Notes
For others, Bold is often spelled Bould, but not here. Bold was the son of John and Ann Mather and had a brother "Berry". His father, John Mather, was also a Tailor from Middleton.
Bold clearly liked being a Tailor, since both his wives were Taylor! He initially lived in Middleton, where all the children were born and baptised, although later (after 1810) moved to Little Bolton.
In 1800, when Ann died, Bold was recorded as a soldier. Perhaps he was away for a few years between 1798-1801 and this is why there are no births at this time.
In 1809, Bold Mather (aged 33 yrs) & Margaret Taylor (aged 33 yrs), both of this parish (Eccles) were married.
Bold Mather was on the 1831 parish Poor List, living at Brown Street, Bolton. There is little else known of him. He appears not to have advertised in the local papers.
In 1832 Martha (46) wife of Bold Mather of Little Bolton died.
In 1836, Bold Mather, a tailor from Little Bolton, died in bed on Monday morning (aged 60). He was found about 9am at his lodgings. An inquest was held, and the verdict was "Died by the visitation of God" (Bolton Chronical, 23 Jan 1836).
