Death Notes
- Ralph was still alive in 1871
  Probably died before 1880 when wife Ann remarried.
  
  The Ralph that died in Chorlton in 1864 was 5.
  
  Ralph did not die in Chorlton, Manchester in 1865, aged 31. That is another Ralph, an organist from Hulme.
  
  The Ralph that died in Ashton-under-Lyne in 1866 was 17.
  
  Ralph Mather died Little Bolton 1881 aged 52, or 1902, aged 62. This may be him as Ralph b.1840-1889 Aspull and b.1842-1872 Brindle/Withnell and 1845 Leigh are only other close matches.

General Notes
- In 1851, Ralph (15), born Entwistle was at Edge Fold, Entwistle with parents John and Jane.
  
  12 Nov 1856, Ralph Mather (21) Labourer, Bachelor of Studs Farm, Longworth, son of John Mather a weaver married Ann Mayoh (16), a dresser of Foulds, daughter of John Mayoh a labourer at Belmont St Paul. (Their son Ralph also married here in 1881).
  
  In 1861, Ralph and Ann (25 & 20) were living at Top 'oth Croft, Lower Darwen with their son Ralph (4mo). His father John (52), sister Rachel (21), brother John (17) and nephew William (1) were with them.
  
  In 1876 Ralph was a Draper at 36 Halliwell Road, Bolton
  
  The Ralph that died in Manchester in 1865 aged 31 is another, and wife Ann was still married in 1871, but it appears that Ann had left Ralph for Thomas Kay. In 1871 Ann was head, still married with her younger children while son Ralph was with her parents.
  
  There is no UK death of Ralph with a good age match, so he may have left the country.
