Peggy's father was Isaac Mather and her mother was Sarah Jackson. She had three brothers and four sisters, named Joseph, Peter, Jacob, Ann, Alice, Jane and Reuben. She was the second oldest of the eight children.

General Notes
- For some reason, only the mother (Sarah) is recorded on the baptism. It could be that this is another Sarah Mather and was unmarried, and possibly married Joshua Webster, a cabinet maker on 22 Aug 1819, just 2 weeks before Peggy was born, but then why use the maiden name?
  
  7 Oct 1839, Margaret Mather, daughter of Isaac Mather, landlord, married William Garside, Cali Printer, son of Richard Garside, weaver, both from Edgworth, full age.
