General Notes
- No burial for Sarah Mather, and not with family on 1841 census, so married James Clough (in 1829), Thomas Westby (in 1831) or James Cottam (in 1837).
  
  6 Nov 1831, Sarah Mather married Thomas Westby (Packer of L.B.) and had daughters Mary in 1832 and Jane in 1834 and William in 1836. Sarah was 43 in 1851 - Perfect! and Thomas 48.
  
  Elizabeth Mather also married Peter Hilton the same day, so was this her sister and a double marriage?
  
  Sarah & James Cottam had a daughter Martha in 1837. Sarah wife of James Cottam died in 1845, aged 30, so it cant be her as she was born 1812.

Social & Emotional Relationships
- Sarah and Elizabeth Mather knew each other.
  - Relationship Notes
    - Married the same day, and thought to be sisters, but now not (as Elizabeth was the daughter of Grace and born 1807)
