William's father was William Pickup and his mother was Harriet Horrocks. He had two sisters named Alice and Mary. He was the youngest of the three children. He had two half-sisters named Eliza and Mary.

General Notes
- William Henry Mather, son of James Mather, both Colliers
  
  Harriet was married to Thomas Mather but living with William Pickup when William Henry was born, yet for William's 1893 marriage he records his father as James Mather, a collier (rather unlikely)
  
  26 May 1893, William Henty Mather (22) of 13 George Street, son of "James Mather" a collier (unlikely) married Alice McDona (22) of 26 George Street, daughter of James a carpenter at St George's, Little Bolton. William probably invented a Mather father so as not to appear illegitimate.

Occupation Details
- From 1893 William's occupation was Collier in Little Bolton.
