General Notes
This family originate from Walton-le-Dale, Blackburn, near to Preston.
In 1829, Joshua married Elizabeth Kay at Walton-le-Dale, Preston. A witness was James Mather, but he has no brother James!
In 1835, Margaret was born. Soon after that, the family relocated to Bolton.
In 1841, Joshua (35) was a Shopkeeper at Bridge House, White Lion Brow with Elizabeth (30), with his three daughters (8, 5 & 5mo).
In April 1851, Joshua and Elizabeth (45 & 42) were at 1 Baldwin Street, W Bolton with Margaret, Elizabeth, Thomas and John (15, 10, 7 & 5), and also Thomas Kay (45), probably Elizabeth's brother (tbc).
On the 24 May 1851 at Lowell, Massachusetts (MA), USA, Joshua Mather, aged 45, son of Thomas & Catherine Mather, a Manufacturer from England married Mary Jane Smith (aged 27, Daughter of David and Rosina Smith). A bigamist? Probably not, this Josiah Mather as he died 22 June 1865 at Lowell, MA, USA. However, there is also a John Mather born about 1847 who emigrated to Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts and that could be his son.
In 1861, Joshua and Elizabeth were at Blackburn Street
Elizabeth died, and Joshua, now living in Farnworth married Maria Haydock (or Haddock). Their 1871 marriage was at Preston Registry Office.
In 1875, Joshua Mather died in Farnworth. There is a probate record, leaving £100 to Maria.

MATHER Elizabeth Little Bolton Bolton KAY LB/5/347
Is KAY correct? They were living in Kay Street.
There are two Elizabeth Mather births in 1841, Little Bolton (LB/5/347) and another in Salford (RR/7/90). However there is no record of Elizabeth mothers name DAWSON in 1841 (so this seems to be an error). There is an Elizabeth Mather DAWSON in 1839 and an Elizabeth Mather KAY in 1841 (which must be her) in Dawson Lane, Little Bolton.
