Family of Isaac Mather & Sarah Jackson

Personal Details
- Isaac Mather
  Isaac was born in 1798 in Turton and his baptism took place on June 8th, 1800 at Bradshaw Chapel.²³
  - Birth Notes
    - Isaac is 52 in 1851, a farmer of 28 acres born Turton. He is a year younger than Jane his wife. Did this Isaac emigrate to the USA, born 27-Oct-1798 and die aged 99? An obituary for such an Isaac exists but seems to conflict with all the US census records.
      
      Name:    Isaac Mather
      Event Type:    Baptism
      Baptism Date:    8 Jun 1800
      Baptism Place:    Bolton-le-Moors, St Peter, Lancashire, England
      Parish as it Appears:    Bradshaw Chapel
      Mother:    Mary Mather
      Reference Number:    L243/1/2/2
      Item Number:    2
      Archive Roll:    855
      Text reads: "Isaac s. of Mary Mather of L.B." (no father given)
      
      There's another Isaac Mather from Bolton recorded as born 27 Oct 1799, died 1898 (agd 99) who is said to have married three times, the last marriage being Sarah Langford, before they emigrated to the USA. This Isaac was already in the US by 1850, and was actually born 1812, which explains why he was so fit at 99. It is likely that this is the Isaac that was born 27 Oct 1799 (baptised 1800). Also Isaac Mathers never married Sarah Langford. Sarah Langford married Morgan Pender and Isaac Mathers marries Esther Kershaw, both Q3/1838 at Manchester Collegiate Church which some Ancestry members have confused.
  He died at the age of 69 in September 1867 in Bury.⁴
  - Death Notes
    - Died after 1861, but cant find a death record. Perhaps he emigrated to USA with family (as did another Isaac Mather). This death registered at Bury still seems likely for someone living in Edgworth:

  Sarah Jackson
  Sarah was born in 1796 in Bolton and her christening took place on July 24th, 1796 at St. Peter's (Bolton).⁵
  - Birth Notes
    - Can find no christenings for Sarah Jackson in Turton or Edgworth, and this is the only one for Bolton. However, I would expect Sarah to have a son Robert (named after her father) and I havent found one.
