In 1836, Bold Mather, a tailor from Little Bolton, died in bed on Monday morning (aged 60). He was found about 9am at his lodgings. An inquest was held, and the verdict was "Died by the visitation of God" (Bolton Chronical, 23 Jan 1836).
Margaret may have died at Kersley in 1839 (aged 62) and buried at Ringley. This appears to be the only close match for her age (born 1776 as age 33 shown on marriage). However, Bold was in L.B. when he died, and his infants are buried at Middleton, so would not expect a burial here.
