Name: John Mather
Birth Date: 5 Oct (1788)
Gender: Male
Event Type: Baptism
Father: John Mather

Denomination: Independent

This record was inserted between other entries. Perhaps an oversight, or possibly indicated that they were not known to the chapel, or not married (text does say "John son of John and Betty Mather", or baptised later and inserted here.
10 Years later, another John born 5 Oct is recorded as baptised with the same date of birth (i.e. 5 Oct 1798), but no baptism date. Is this the same son, baptised aged 10? Quite possibly as he was born before the parents married.
Death Notes
Assumed to have died before 1798, as another John born in 1798.
Name: John Mather
Event Type: Burial
Burial Date: 19 Jun 1797
Parish: Bolton le Moors, St Peter

Text is: "John Mather of G.B." with no indication of age or parents, so may be the worng person, but just the right year to have their next son baptised John (Thomas was baptised in 1796). No ages were recorded in the 1700s.
Exactly the same situation for son Thomas who died 1795 and the following son was also Thomas, again with no age or parents.
