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..

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,
