Nancy Mather

This picture, '1770s Mather Baptisms (Walmsey Chapel)', was taken about 1780 at Walmsley Presbyterian and sourced from Certificate - Baptism.

Picture Notes
- One of the first pages of the Walmsley Chapel Meeting House (Presbyterian) is dominated by two Mather families, William+Ann and Peter+Ellin. These two families were to be the grandparents of Samuel Mather (1791-1854) and Alice Mather (1792-1879) who married 9 September 1810. Therefore Samuel and Alice (the parents of John Mather) were second cousins.

Nancy was born in 1773 in Walmsley and her baptism took place on July 16th, 1773 at Walmsley Presbyterian conducted by minister John Aspinal.¹²
