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.

1891 census records Sarah as being born in Bolton. However, the BMD birth record is at Birkenhead. This is consistent with the family moving to Birkenhead in mid 1884, and the birth was registered there, after they moved.
In 1901, they are back in Bolton, living with older sister Hannah, and the records shows Sarah E and Margaret H were born in Birkenhead.
