In 1823, Thomas, John's father, left one cottage in King Street, Great Bolton, to son John Mather.
In 1841, John was at Flash, Brieghtmet (60) a Farmer, living alone.

James son of John & Ann Mather of Breightmet
NOTE: There is another James Mather, baptised 24 Mar 1805 at Eccles son ot Thomas and Betty Mather. It is possibled this James is from Eccles as he is buried with a Thomas and Betty.
