General Notes
In 1871, James was a "Loomer" with his parents in Halliwell when he was 21.
In 1874 James Mather married Maria Hulme. However, this may have been James H Mather (i.e. another)
In 1881, James Mather, (Unmarried, 32, born Astley Bridge) was at Cod Hall, Horwich, with a lodger, farming 4 acres. Had he left Maria? Walter was born about 1884, but must have been an adopted son (as no birth registered under that name).
In 1891, James and Maria (40 & 39) and family (but no Walter) were at 26 Vermont Street, Halliwell. James was a cotton spinner. James's father-in-law Isaac Hulme (80) was with them.
