General Notes
In 1841, William Mather, aged 15 was a moulders apprentice at Charles Street, Little Bolton (living alone)
26 Aug 1844, William, son of Samuel Mather (both moulders) married Sarah Horrocks, daughter of Haman Horrocks (a weaver).
When his daughter Alice was baptised 26-Sep-1846, William was described as a Foundry-man.
William may have died in 1847, aged 25 which is why there are no more births, or maybe Sarah left him.
