  There are no previous marriages of a John Mather and Ann (or Anne) of Deane in the past 20 years, the nearest being Ann Eckersley, married 1775.  Boton marriages are also limited.  There is however an Ann Johnson married at Manchester in 1792 but she was still having children in 1805. 
  
  John and Ann Eckersley are of Astley.  After John and Elizabeth were married, then had a Martha baptised at Atherton (but 16 years later).
