  MATHER    Joseph    33    Ardwick,         ARD/124/233
  This other Joseph that died aged 33 is probably Joseph son of George and Jane of 4 Wallworth Street, baptised May 1858 at Ardwick.

General Notes
- Joseph son of James a Manufacturer from Church Street, Radcliffe.
  
  Between Joseph Mather's marriage in 1883 and Elizabeths re-marriage in 1889, Joseph died. He could be the Joseph that died at Ardwich in 1888, aged 33. However, the older Joseph that died in 1884 at Horwich, aged 45 is more likely. Joseph was from Church Street, Radcliffe and this is also the abode when their only child Charles was baptised. We need his marriace certificate to confirm.
