- There are 7 possible Bolton marriages of Mary Mather from 1804 to 1824. Assuming she stayed in the area and buried at Turton, only one of these Marys is a match, the marriage to James Lee in 1823. Howver is is another couple born about 1800.
  
  15 Jul 1810, Mary Mather married John Haslam a weaver. They had a son William in 1814, but after that there were 5 more marriaged of John Haslam to a Mary.
  
  In 1812, Ann Haslam was baptised, daughter of John and Mary Ann.
  
  In 1819, Mary's borther Charles died aged 27, so her next son born 1823 was named after him.
  
  In 1841, John a Dyer and Mary Haslam (50 & 55) were at Bottom, Edgworth with William (25), Thomas (15) and Isaac (14)
  
  By 1851, John had died and Mary Haslam (66) was a Widow at Russia Bottom, Edgworth with Thomas (24) and Isaac (22). The census shows she was born at Quarlton (near Edgworth)
