General Notes
The marriage in 1761 is the only James Mather and Esther marriage, so the 5 births with both parents named show where they lived:
In July 1761, James Mather and Esther Mason married at St Peter's, Bolton.
In 1862, Robert was baptised whjile they lived at Walmesly. Then there are no baptisms with both parents named.
There are four more births from 1780 (after an 18 year gap), with abode as Withnell, so this could be another couple with a missing marriage record.

Was expecting a birth about 1765 if Robert was 80 when he died. However, this must surley be him, as correct baptist chapel, and his first two children are named after his parents (the Robert that died at Bury is another).
Must have been born early (Jan to Mar) 1762 as James remarried in June and Robert baptised in August. Another Robert son of James of Longworth was baptised at Rivington 14-Jul-1762.
