Personal Details
Birth Notes
Aged 35 in 1841
Aged 46 when buried in 1850
Since we know his approximate age, and parents are likely Thomas and Betty (who he was buried with), it is likely he was baptised at Eccles.
Name: James Mather
Event Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 15 Jul 1803
Parish: Bolton le Moors, St Peter
Father's name: John Mather
Mother's name: Ann Mather
Reference Number: GB127.L243/1/2/3
James son of John & Ann Mather of Breightmet
NOTE: There is another James Mather, baptised 24 Mar 1805 at Eccles son ot Thomas and Betty Mather. It is possibled this James is from Eccles as he is buried with a Thomas and Betty. However, there is no strong reason to assume that Thomas and Betty were his parents (e.b. many be an uncle and aunt), anr anything to link this James with Eccles (which is quite far from Breightmet).

Lydia a widow in 1871 but no Bolton Deaths for John Mather of a similar age. However, 1870 Royton death is a good match (although burial has wrong age).
Not with family in 1851 but Betsy born 1874, so may have survived.
