General Notes
- Thomas and Alice of Middle Hulton are buried together at St Mary's Deane.
  
  Having the only early Mather headstone he was probably an important man, and also has strong connections to Liverpool where all 4 children were baptised.
  
  John Mort (son) and Thomas Mather of Middle Hulton were the executors of Robert Mort (a tanner) will of 1728.
  
  Either Thomas and Alice didnt have children, or they had Daniel, Thomas, William and Elizabeth (1706 - 1712), all baptised at St Nicholas, Liverpool. There are no known Thomas and Alice marriages at Liverpool (only one other in Warrington in 1701). However we know they married and later were buried at St Mary's Deane.
