  There is no baptism for a Jacob Mather, anywhere in the country!
  He would probably be baptised at Moor Lane, since he lived there.

Jacob's father was Jacob Mather and his mother was Catharine Ainsworth. His paternal grandparents were Jeremiah Mather and Hannah Seddon. He had a brother and a sister, named Samuel and Nancy. He was the youngest of the three known children. He died at the age of 62 in September 1864 in Liverpool.²

  Sons James and William (aged 1 and 5) were both buried at St. Peters, but Sarah and Jacob were buried elsewhere.
  
  Died after 1861, probably before 1971. Only 4 deaths in England FreeBMD 1861-99, and one with no age given, so is possibly this Jacob Mather:

General Notes
- In 1798 Jacob Mather paid rent at Breightmet. This may have been his father.
  
  Jacob was born about 1802 in Bolton, possibly the son of Jacob. There is no baptism for Jacob, and likewise Jacob Snr was widowed, and also no first marriage or baptism records.
  
  In 1841, Jacob was 35, a cotton washer at Crook Street, E Bolton with Sarah (30) and John (15). Also present were William and Alice Taylor (both 25), possibly related. Neighbours were John and Mary Buckley (65 & 60), the Oil Sheet Maker.
  
  In 1843, Jacob's wife Sarah died in 1843, so in 1851 he was a widower (49), living in lodgings at 22 Moor Lane, Western Bolton.
  
  By 1861, Jacob (58, born Bolton) was a Cotton Hand, working and lodging at Mayfield Terrace, Mayfield, Staffordshire with Joseph Dagnall (23 a cotton hand) and wife Betsey (23, born Bolton), not Jacob's daughter, as Joseph Dagnall married Elizabeth Pollitt Q1/1859 in Ashborne.
  
  There are so few records for Jacob, it seem likely he went by another name, probably James, a common alternative.
