James was born in Farnworth Q4 1840, in Greater Bolton, not Radcliffe, although that is where he lived and married. He was the illegitimate son of Mary Ann Mather.
James moved to live in Radcliffe soon after his birth was registered at Farnworth. In 1843 his mother had George, another illegitimate child at Radcliffe.
In 1861, James Mather (20) was a Cotton Piece Dyer at Tabitha Fields, Radcliffe (same as later years) the son of James Gregory (32) and Mary Ann (42) with two Davenport and three Gregory siblings. He was the only Mather.
