Personal Details

 James Mather


James was born in 1825 in Newchurch in Rossendale.¹ 
• Birth Notes

  Aged 16 in 1841
  Aged 28 in 1851, born Baltic, Labcashire
  
  Baltic is where his father Edmund was in 1841
He died at the age of 46 in March 1871 in Heywood.² 
• Death Notes

  James died between 1861 and 1871.  The only Lancashire date match is at Poulton-le-Fylde, Blackpool, aged 41, which seems unlikely unless he was on his holidays (a popular holiday destination).  The only local death is in 1871.  This is possible as death is before the census.
