Personal Details
Birth Notes
James's first wife Betty was born 1769 (known from burial), and was only 16 when she had her first child, and married. James is likely to be older, certainly not younger. There is only one James also buried at St. Peters born in the 1760s, so this is likely to be him.
Died 1794, aged 37
From Great Bolton, probably Quarlton (near Edgworth), Turton
Not the son of James Mather and Sarah Watson from Rumworth (bap. 26 Jun 1758), as both their sons James Mather died as infants.
