Peter was from the Parish of Bolton when he married, probably a weaver from Turton as his first two children, Margaret and Alice, were from there when buried in 1727.

Assumed to be from Turton if at Horrock's fold

One Baptism is for Abraham, son of Richard Mather, March 1744 in Manchester.  This is too late as he would only be 13 when married.  Also there is no John baptism (and expected brother).

Another baptism is Abraham son of John and Martha from Haslingden, baptised 1723.  This is too early, as he would be 34 when marrying and starting a family spanning 20 years.

Possibly died 1799, but could be another !

Abraham Mather of G.B.
(no age or occupation shown)

This is not the Peter from Warrington.  He was a tobacconist and died there in  1773.

Baptism records for "Deane by Bolton" and "son of John" include Peter (1734), Catherine (1737), Thomas (1740), Samuel (1744), Thomas (1745), John (1746), John (1747), Ann (1748) , Richard (1750), Betty (1751), John (1754), Mary (1755), and so on.  There must be at least two families here, but also indicate that this a Deane family (who had a Richard born 1750), cannot be the same as the Turton (Walmsley) family with brothers Peter and Richard (and possibly John & James).

The family have been shown not to be the ones of Middle Hulton, but possibly have been in Turton (or Rivington or Haslingden) for several generations. Turton Baptism records are lost for this period.

1803 or 1807 (so about 1805)

There are two Peter Mathers buried at St. Peter, with no parent shown (so probably adults), and no age.  As Peter is an uncommon name here, one of these two records is most likely our Peter.

There are no Ellen Mather buriels, that could be his wife at St. Peter.  Of the 11 burials for Ellen Mather at St. Peters, none match spouse or possible age.
