Sarah Mather

Sarah was born in 1793 in Turton.¹

Birth Notes
- This Sarah was from Turton, so not the Sarah daughter of John and Alice Mather of Little Hulton baptised at Deane 2 Nov 1794.
  
  Aged 45 in 1841
  Aged 58/68 in 1851, born Turton
  
  It's strange Betty is older than Thomas in 1851 and younger in 1841. Closer examination of the 1851 census suggest her age of 68 could be 58.

Sarah's father was Solomon Mather and her mother was Martha (Matty) Ramsden. Her paternal grandparents were Richard Mather and Ann Howarth. She had three brothers and four sisters, and also a sibling of unknown gender, named James, Solomon, Joseph, Betty, Mary, Catherine, Ann and <child>. She was the third oldest of the nine children. She died at the age of 63 in December 1856 in Sharples. Her burial was on December 11th, 1856 at St. Paul's (Astley Bridge).²³

General Notes
- UNCONFIRMED: Possible parents William and Betty married in 1779, but there is only one baptism for Alice in 1792. It is very likely there are several more Mather children from Turton with baptism records missing. Another possibility is a daughter of Solomon and Martha, also with a large gap where you may expect births. It is assumed that Sarah is one such person!
  Because Solomon was born at Hall-i’th’-Wood, and so was Sarah's husband Thomas Lowe, then this seems the more likely. Either would result in DNA matches.
  
  In 1841, Thomas and Sarah Lowe (50 & 45) are living at Bank Top, Sharples with Betty (20), Thomas (15), Joseph (15), Jesse (12), William (10) and George (8)
  
  In 1851, Thomas and Sarah Lowe (63 & 68) were living at Bank Top, Sharples with Betty (32), Jessie (23), William (18) and George (17). Henry Fairhurst (26, a possible relative) was a neighbour. Hall-i’th’-Wood is nearby.
