  No Jonathan Mather baptism can be found. John Mather bap.1781 at Lower Darwen, is a very good fit, son of James and Esther of Withnell, but this is another person, alive at the same time as Jonathan. The Tockholes baptism is therefore the best match..

Jonathan's father was James Mather and his mother was Esther Mason. His paternal grandparents were Ralph Mather and Ann Anderton. He had three brothers and four sisters, named Robert, Ralph, James, Ann, Sally, Betty and Ellen. He was the youngest of the eight children. He died at the age of 92 in January 1877 in Wheelton.
