General Notes
- Henry's baptism shows he was from Harwood and in 1871, from Harwood Lee. Other family records indicate Raikes (a farm at Harwood Lee), so this is probably where Henry was born.
  
  Henry had 6 daughters and no sons - poor guy! Only three of the girls survived pas the age of 5, and they each married.
  
  In 1841, Henry Mather (22) is with Ann (19) at Bank Street, Little Bolton, so who is Ann. It cannot be a sister, unlikely a wife, so probably another Henry Mather
  
  According to the 1846 marriage record, Henry is a spinner and father Richard a Labourer (not longer a Weaver)
  
  In 1851, 61, 71 census, Henry is shown to have been born at Harwood Lee (or simply Harwood), and an outdoor labourer. All the family were born here!
  
  In 1876 his daughter Sarah Jane (19) of 2 Yates Square married a neighbour William Hutchinson (23) of 5 Yates Square.
  
  He must have had a big house at Yates Square, LB as in 1891 he's a general labourer (71) with wife Sarah (65), grandson Henry Hutchinson and 8 lodgers.
