Ellin was born about 1593 in

Birth Notes
Born Lowton or Warrington
Originally thought about 1598, but more likely sooner after marriage.
The primary baptism that survives is Ellin Mather - Daughter of Thomas Mather in Baptisms 1599-1730, Page 61, but that register starts in 1599, so a 1593 Ellin wouldn't be in it.
Ellin's father was
Thomas Mather and her mother was
Margaret (Margerite) Abrams. Her paternal grandparents were
John Mather and
Margaret (of Newton). She had a brother and two sisters, named
Richard,
Margaret and
Elizabeth. She was the oldest of the four known children.
