General Notes
In 1841, Peter (15) was at Lane Ends, Little Hulton working as an Apprentice Collier.
The 13 July 1844 Bolton Chronical Newspaper reported the death of Mr Peter Mather of Tong, near this town. This is the only Lancashire Peter Mather death with age within 2y.
The Peter who married Ellen Hardman 28-Jun-1846 at St. Helens was the son of John Mather, so this isnt our Peter!
Occupation Details
From 1841 Peter's occupation was Apprentice Collier in Little Hulton.4
