General Notes
10 Jan 1852, Isabel Barnes and James Mather of Holden had a child Henry Barnes baptised at Haslingden.
30 Jan 1752 (or 1751), James Mather married Alice Cowp at Haslingden. This was just 3 weeks after his illegitimate son Henry Mather was baptised. The son was baptised Mather, even though they were not married, so maybe Alice too him in as hers!
1752-1760, James was a weaver at Under Hutchbank when Mary and Alice were baptised. By 1762 he was at Troy in the Grange.
James was a widower when he married Hannah Howarth. The only other "Manchester" marriage within 10 years for James is for Esther Mason, the previous year, but this isnt it. James and Esther continued to have their family in over Darwen past the 1762 second marriage. The 1752 Haslingden marriage of James Mather and Alice Cowp is therefore another option.
James and Hannah's daughter Mary was baptised at Bank Street, and the abode is recorded as Turton. This indicated James is of the Turton Presbyterian Mather family.
