Isaac Mather 
Isaac was born in 1798 in Turton and his baptism took place on June 8th, 1800 at Bradshaw Chapel.1 2 Birth Notes
Isaac is 52 in 1851, a farmer of 28 acres born Turton. He is a year younger than Jane his wife. Did this Isaac emigrate to the USA, born 27-Oct-1798 and die aged 99? An obituary for such an Isaac exists but seems to conflict with all the US census records.
Name: Isaac Mather
Event Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 8 Jun 1800
Baptism Place: Bolton-le-Moors, St Peter, Lancashire, England
Parish as it Appears: Bradshaw Chapel
Mother: Mary Mather
Reference Number: L243/1/2/2
Item Number: 2
Archive Roll: 855
Text reads: "Isaac s. of Mary Mather of L.B." (no father given)
There's another Isaac Mather from Bolton recorded as born 27 Oct 1799, died 1898 (agd 99) who is said to have married three times, the last marriage being Sarah Langford, before they emigrated to the USA. This Isaac was already in the US by 1850, and was actually born 1812, which explains why he was so fit at 99. It is likely that this is the Isaac that was born 27 Oct 1799 (baptised 1800). Also Isaac Mathers never married Sarah Langford. Sarah Langford married Morgan Pender and Isaac Mathers marries Esther Kershaw, both Q3/1838 at Manchester Collegiate Church which some Ancestry members have confused.
Death Notes
Died after 1861, but cant find a death record. Perhaps he emigrated to USA with family (as did another Isaac Mather). This death registered at Bury still seems likely for someone living in Edgworth:

General Notes
Isaac born 1796 was a bastard son of Mary Mather of Little Bolton. No farther is given, although Mary Mather, if the same person, married Henry Warburton by licence in April 1801.
He may have had a brother Jacob. Also a posible brother of Alice Mather, wife of Samuel (both from Turton).
A Weaver in 1816 when married, and 1817 - >1822
In 1841, Isaac Mather (45) was a Beer Seller with his second wife Jane (50) at the Old White Horse, Wallbach, Edgworth. His children Joseph, Alice, Peter, Jacob, Jane, and Sarah were with him. The Old White Horse was taken over by Annis Bromily, an unmarried woman, aged 66 in 1851. Isaac was a neighbour, but now farming 28 acres (with his family).
In 1844 Isaac was an Out Worker when daughter Alice of Edgworth Moor married William Crowshaw
In 1851, Isaac and Jane (52 & 53) are at Walleach, Edgworth farming 28 acres. With them are Joseph (27), Peter and Jacob (both 25), and Sarah (15).
1853: Isaac Mather continued to be a Beer Seller in Edgworth, and is listed in the 1853 and 1855 trade directories.
In 1861, Isaac (65) was a widower, lodging with his daughter Margaret Garside and son Joseph at Doffer Fold (next to Buckley Fold), Radcliffe.
In 1863, old Isaac may have married Mary Haddock at Bury RO (TBC).

Marriage/Union Notes
Cant find any marriage record for Isaac and Jane, which makes me believe that Jane is Isaac's second wife. Also, cannot find any christening records for the children, but I can find two (for Alice and Jane) with Isaac married to Sarah. Both are Turton district further backing up this theory. There is a marriage for Isaaac Mather and Sarah in 1816, with a christening for Ann soon after.
