General Notes
William came from a prosperous family, an "Attorney at Law" and he married Martha by license. After he died, Martha married by licence again.
It is unlikely William was married before. There are no birth records where Willias is an Attorney.
If similar age to Martha, he is probably the son of Samuel Mather and Elizabeth Crosland, married 1797 at Manchester Cathederal (as he has a son William Corsland Mather). However, age at death may suggest he is much older.
