Family of Robert Mather & Peggy Duerden

Personal Details
- Robert Mather
  Robert was born in January 1762 in Walmsley and his baptism took place on August 8th, 1762 at Over Darwen Lower Chapel.²
  - Birth Notes
    - Was expecting a birth about 1765 if Robert was 80 when he died. However, this must surley be him, as correct baptist chapel, and his first two children are named after his parents (the Robert that died at Bury is another).
      
      Must have been born early (Jan to Mar) 1762 as James remarried in June and Robert baptised in August. Another Robert son of James of Longworth was baptised at Rivington 14-Jul-1762.
