    In 1881 and 1891, Mary (4 & 14) was with parents and brolther John Mather in Sharples.
    
    After 1891, Mary vapourised.  She was not with John in 1911 or 1921. No deaths in Bolton. No Marriages.
    
    In 1901, Mary E Mather (24) was single and a boarder with William and Betty Faint in Bolton.  This is Mary E Mather who married Ralph Firhurst, a different person (MMN = HORROBIN) also registered Q1/1877.
