Walmersley is North Bury, just 2 miles North of the center of Bury. Francis's death record of 1810 also shows Walm'y, so this is where the family probably lived.
Death Notes
The following 1847 St Peters burial record, I now believe is the Samuel wife of Ellen of G.B., who probably moved to L.B. after his wifes death. Both are buried at St. Peters (as you would expect), and this Samuel of same birth year is buried elsewhere, probably Bury.
Burial: 21 May 1847 St Peter, Bolton, Lancs.

The 1847 Lancashire BMD record has his age as 64, not 55.
There are two possible matches:
Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1854 (our Samuel)
MATHER Samuel 63 Little Bolton LB/18/28
This is Samuel husband of Happy of 4 Simpson Street, so another Samuel & Alice Mather Mather
Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1857
MATHER Samuel 64 Little Bolton LB/22/134
This is possible, but it's in Little Bolton, not Bury.
General Notes
Another Samuel Mather from Bolton, who's father was Robert, as was his second son (so named after his grandfather).
1 Oct 1815, Samuel Mather, a Fuller, Bachelor, married Alice Greenhalgh, a spinster at St Mary the Virgin, Bury. Witnesses were James Milnes and Thomas Crompton.
In 1841, Samuel, 45 (and Alice, 45), recorded as a Fuller when John was born. Fuller, a worker who cleanses wool through the process of fulling. They lived at Cresent Row, North Bury and in 1841 had 6 children.
WARNING: There's another Samuel Mather who was an Iron Moulder with sons William, Ralph and George.
