General Notes
- If Elizabeth was known as Betty (after her Mother), then Betty Mather married James Makinson, a farmer, on 29 Nov 1913. However this appears to be another family who had 9 or 10 children from 1814-34 baptised at Blackrod. It appears Elizabeth never married.
  
  There are several Elizabeth Mather marriages at Manchester that havn't been investigated.
  
  In 1814: A double wedding: On 13 Feb at Leigh, James Mather a weaver, married Esther Platt and James Makin married Elizabeth Mather. Thomas, Hil or Hid (Hilda ?) and James Lees were witness.
  
  In 1834, Elizabeth Mather of Water Street S, Ashton-Under-Line was a straw hat maker. Probably another!
