• General Notes
  • Oct 1837, Lomas Mather was a witness at John and Ellen's wedding.  He is the only Lomas Mather living in Lancashire in 1841.  He is possibly John's brother for several reasons:
    
    1) He was witness to John's marriage
    2) Named Lomax after their grandmother, Happy Lomax
    3) All except Isaac have no baptism record
    4) Had left home before 1841, so not with family
    5) Father was Samuel, a weaver when he married in 1845
    
    In 1841, James and Lomas Mather (25 & 20), cotton carders, were living at Marsh Lane, Atherton. Also Thomas Thompson (20) and Joseph and Mary Hayes (both 45).
    
    5 Oct 1845, Lomas married Sarah Wood nee Henshall, both from New Islington (Ancoats, Manchester) at Manchester Cathederal.  This is NOT the Sarah Henshall who was married to David Wood (as she was still married to him in 1841 and 1851).
    
    In 1846 Lomas and Sarah had a daughter Rebecca at  Manchester. 
    
    In 1871 Lomas Mather (50, Unmarried) born Bolton was a lodger (and a Hatter) at a lodging house with 12 lodgers at 20+22 Queens Street, St Pauls, Bolton.
    
    In 1858, Lomas Mather died aged 58.  The death was registered at Haslingden.
    
    In 1876, Lomas Mather died, aged 58.  George Tattersall was present at the death.
