  There are two sons of Mary Mather, Robert and John, born 1814 and 1817 with no father named. These are likely to be the children of John and Mary, but before they married.
  
  15 Jul 1815, John Mather a weaver married Mary Jones at Farnworth, but this now seems unlikely to be the same John (as there is no death record for Mary).
  
  12 Nov 1820, John married Mary Harrison at Leigh. He married her 3 days after she gave birth to Elizabeth, but in time to be named on the baptism.
  
  In 1841 & 1846, John's daughters Mary and Ellen were living at Alfred Street, Atherton when they married at St George's.
