- Death Notes
- James Mather (65, weaver) & Charlotte Mather (61) still alive in 1841 at Little Bolton Hall.
Wife Charllotte was buried at St. Peter in 1848, so would expect James to be buried there too. Abode G.B. The burial for James from G.B in 1854, aged 83 is a good match. Otherwide, died 1848, aged 69 in L.B. is better, as we know he was in Little Bolton Hall in 1841.
