Abraham Mather burial 5 Nov 1792 in Turton (only mother shown) was the son of Daniel and Margaret Smalley, born 29 May 1791, so must be another.

The death for Abraham Madder, Burial 11 Apr 1790 must be another (e.g. his grandfather) as Abraham was baptised November.

Abraham had died by 1851 when Margaret a Widow (but maybe not if he was a biggamist and with another woman).
