    The grave records dated 1873 are in the Inman/Foot family.  The grave was bought originally for £2 by Elizabeth Mather in 1865 and is in Tonge and Haulgh cemetery (at the back of where Fred Dibnah used to live)  Ref - 2:F:29NC  There are 3 inmates buried as follows:
           25/3/1865            John Mather                 49 years
           15/11/1902          Ruth Inman                   48 years
           9/1/1908              Hannah Richardson     65 years
    There is no tombstone but we think it is next to the grave bought by John's brother George also in 1865 when his first wife died.
    
    Ruth died in 1902, aged 48 at 16 Osborne Street from pneumonia and and heart failure. She is buried at Tonge with 2 others in the same grave.

• General Notes
  • Ruth Mather was born on 2 August 1854 at 58 Chorley St.  Her father John was then a time keeper according to the birth certificate. Ruth was probably named after her Grandmother, Ruth Kay.
    
    She was aged 16 on the 1871 census but there is a line is across the employment column so we don't know whether she worked prior to her marriage.
    
    After mother Elizabeth and two other Deaths in Birkenhead n the early 1890's, Ruth moved in with sister Hannah (and Robert) in Bolton in 1901 with Elizabeth D and Margaret H, working form them as a domestic servant at the Royal Tiger Pub.  She may also have been ill, as she died soon after moving in 1902 at the young age of 47.
