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.
Samuel's father was
Robert Madther and his mother was
Judith (Judy) Chadwick. His paternal grandparents were
Robert Madther and
Betty (Elizabeth) Ripson. He had three brothers and five sisters, named
Francis,

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.
