John, a weaver, and Jennet married 12 Aug 1755. In 1761 and 1763 they were at Horrock’s Fold, Turton when Betty and John were baptised. In 1765, Jenny’s baptism is only shown as Little Bolton.
Jenny is an uncommon name, yet both John and possible brother Abraham had daughters baptised Jennet. There are other John Mather families at Turton, but this one is more likely a brother of Abraham (and others) and using same Bank Street Unitarian chapel.
