General Notes
James and William were baptised in Bolton, the sons of William Mather and Martha (Bleakley). They came from a prosporus background and were professional people. William was an Attorney of Law, who died in 1835. His wife Martha remarried in 1838, so the boys probably went into service. James became a druggist.
In 1841, James and William (14 & 12) were not with their parents. Instead, they were with John (an overlooker), Jane and family were at Barlow Street, Little Bolton whom had just married in Oct 1829 (so too young to be their parents). They may be adopted by John, a relative.
In 1851, James is not with the family and may may have married Mary Stott at Deane in 1851, but there are no possible Bolton marriages.
James son of John Mather is possibly the son James (14) of John and Jane at Burton Street, Little Bolton in 1841.
21 Nov 1852, James Mather (24), son of John a weaver married Elizabeth Broom (21) at St Thomas, Heaton Norris.
In 1861, James and Elizabeth (30 & 27) were living at Lum Street, Bolton with Nancy (3) and John Thomas (2)
In 1871, James from Cheshire and Betsy (43 & 38) were at 1 Morris Street, Little Bolton with Nancy (14), John (13), Charles (10) and Elizabeth (1).
In 1881, Wife Elizabeth Mather (47, Head, married) was still at 58 Lum Street, Bolton with John, Charles and Elizabeth and three boarders Had James left her?
