Ann probably died at Hopwood in March 1870, aged 70. 1821 James Mather 1825 John Mather In 1871, Moses, John and Samuel (48, 46 & 30) were living with their sister Ann (and Thomas) Maddock and family at Heywood 1834 Ann Mather 21 Jan 1866, Ann married Thomas Manock at St Leonards, Middleton.  Thomas wasnt just marrying Ann.

20 May 1853, Joseph Mather, Carter, married Nancy Morris at St Mary's Bury.  His father John was a sand dealer (i.e. confirmed)

In 1871, Joseph was a Goods Porter at Heywood, married to Nancy with 5 children.

Joseph died after Selina was born, and Nancy re-marries a Smith.  In 1881, Nancy Smith (50) was with all four Mather daughters

 1775 - 1836 Bold (Bould) Mather 60 60 For others, Bold is often spelled Bould, but not here.  Bold was the son of John and Ann Mather and had a brother "Berry".  His father, John Mather, was also a Tailor from Middleton.

Bold clearly liked being a Tailor, since both his wives were Taylor!  He initially lived in Middleton, where all the children were born and baptised, although later (after 1810) moved to Little Bolton.

In 1800, when Ann died, Bold was recorded as a soldier.  Perhaps he was away for a few years between 1798-1801 and this is why there are no births at this time.

In 1809, Bold Mather (aged 33 yrs) & Margaret Taylor (aged 33 yrs), both of this parish (Eccles) were married.

Bold Mather was on the 1831 parish Poor List, living at Brown Street, Bolton.  There is little else known of him.  He appears not to have advertised in the local papers.

In 1832 Martha (46) wife of Bold Mather of Little Bolton died.

In 1836, Bold Mather, a tailor from Little Bolton, died in bed on Monday morning (aged 60).  He was found about 9am at his lodgings.  An inquest was held, and the verdict was "Died by the visitation of God" (Bolton Chronical, 23 Jan 1836). 1776 - 1839 Margaret Taylor 63 63 There is no marriage for a Margaret Mather daughter of Taylor after Bold died. 1810 Nancy Mather After her father suddenly died in 1836, Nancy Mather of Moor Lane married John Harwood (24-Jan-1838).  Her father Bold Mather was a tailor. ~1810 John Harwood In 1837, John was a widower when he married Nancy Mather.  James Mather (her step-brother) was a witness.

The couple may have moved to Blackburn (or Lower Darwen) as there are birth records for June (Jane) and Nelly, Mary and Thomas (1840,1842,1844 & 1847) but cant be found on census. 1806 - 1807 Mary Mather 5m 5m ~1776 - 1807 Alice Taylor 31 31 1825 - >1861 Peter Mather 36 36 Another Peter (15) was at Lane Ends, Middle Hulton in 1841

Son of Nathan & Alice (Bolton, 1825), confirmed by Marriage.

Peter was missing in 1851, and there is a gap in births until Joseph was born in 1859.  Did he go to America to visit his uncle?  His grandfather Richard died there in August 1851. 1822 - 1823 John Mather 9m 9m 1828 - 1908 William Mather 80 80 In 1841, aged 13, living in Middleton

In 1850, William was a Shoemaker at 303 Deansgate, Manchester (23) when he married Eliza (19)

In 1851, William and Eliza (19, dau-in-law) who had probably just married, was with the family.

By 1861 William and Eliza had 4 children, but that number had doubled to 8 in 1871.

In 1891, William (Widower) and his 5 youngest children were at 32 Middleton Road, Great Heaton 1806 - 1880 Alice Brooks 74 74 In Jan 1880, Alice wife of Nathaniel of  Boardman Lane, Rhodes died, aged 74 1830 - 1867 Hannah Mather 37 37 In 1841, aged 11, living in Middleton

Hannah married Thomas Bailey in 1848, and had two daughters in 1849 and 1853.

Did something happen to Hannah?.  Here daughters were with other family in 1861 and her parents in 1871. 1834 - 1882 John Mather 48 48 In 1841, aged 7, living in Middleton 1837 - 1916 Nancy Mather 78 78 Nancy was baptised twice, first as a child, and later aged 17 (with Nathaniel and Alice) before she married.

21 Sep 1837, Nancy Mather born, baptised 19 Nov 1837 at Middleton, Wood Street (New Jerusalemite) Church, daughter of Nathaniel and Alice Mather of Lands End, Heaton near Middleton, Lancashire, a bleacher.

In 1841, aged 3, living in Middleton

Nancy married Robert Thorp.  Her father Nathanial (79) was living with her in 1881

In 1911, Nancy (73) was living with her son Nathaniel. 1842 - 1854 Joseph Mather 11 11 1846 - 1879 Alice Mather 33 33 In 1851, Alice (5) was with her parents at Bradshaw Lane, Middleton.

In 1854: Alice wasnt baptissed until she was 9 years old, together with siblings Nathanier and Nancy.

In 1871, Alice (26) was still single, living with parents Nathaniel and Alice (69 & 65) in Middleton

1 Aug 1874, Alice married Charles Mills, an Etcher.  Thery were married 4 yeard before Charles died in 1848, and allice in 1879.  There may well be children, but no baptisms. Any children would be likely adopted out or taken in by other family..

Oct 1879, Alice, widow of Charles Mills, Thorpe Street, Rhodes died aged only 33. 1798 - 1800 Ann Mather 2 2 1805 - 1805 Mary Ann Mather 1802 James Mather James married Sarah Nancy Aked, and between 1841-51 James moved from Bury to Lichfield, Staffs.

After they married, James and Sarah lived at Heap Bridge, Heywood (East of Bury). He was at Heap Fold when Edmund baptised in 1827.

In 1841, James, a paper dealer, and Sarah (both 35) were at Heap Brow, Heywood, (nr Bury) with Edmund (14), John (12), Alice (8), Robert (7), Alfred (5), Frederic (3) and Aked (2mo)

In 1851, James, a paper maker, and Sarah (48 & 47) were at Alton, Staffordshire with 6 children.

There is another James Mather from Middleton, son of James and Alice.  This James died in Farnworth in 1873, aged 73.  It is this James, a shopkeeper, that married a much (22y) younger Ann Leah in 1860, the daughter of Joseph and Mary. 1795 - 1795 John Mather 9m 9m 1793 - 1794 Bould Mather 1 1 Bould (maybe Bold) Mather, son of James Mather is a mystery.  Born of Elizabeth, but Isobel recorded as mother when buried.  There is only one Bould Mather.  Isobel is a diminuative name for Elizabeth.

25 March 1794, Bould son of Isabel Mather, Poor, of Great Bolton died and buried at St Peter's, aged 1. 1829 Elizabeth Leigh 1831 - 1900 Luke Mather 69 69 Luke was the son of Richard Mather.  He was also married at Manchester Cathederal, just two years after Luke, son of Thomas, but are they related?

In 1861, Luke and Elizabeth (30 & 34) had his nephew Richard (11, born Salford) as well as sons John and William (6 & 2) 1775 - 1850 John Mather 75 75 John Son of Ann Eckersley of Kersley (SE Bolton between Farnworth and Clifton) by John Mather, baptised at Ringley (1 mile East on the other side of the River Irwell).

NOTE: Assumed to be the John Mather & Alice Gore family (as DOB matches death), but could also be son of Thomas b.1766 at Little Hulton (better expected age and place of birth, matching Alice Mort).

In 1841, John Mather (65), George Mather (25) and Frederic Fish (20) were at Derby Street, East Bolton

8 Sep 1850, John Mather of Derby Street, Bolton died, aged 75.  His death was recorded in the Bolton Chronical.  1777 - 1866 Berry (Bury) Mather 89 89 Bury married Ellen Burton in Bolton in 1792

Ellen must have died about 1804, and no more children came until John and Nathan. Nathan was baptised with mother Elizabeth, so pehaps Berry and Elizabeth were together for almost 20 years before they married.

In 1841, Berry (indexed as Betty, 60, and female) was an overlooker, with wife Betty (50) at Field Head Cottages.

In 1851, Berry (Bury) was 73 with his new wife Betty (63) at Horton, Yorkshire.  They had their children Bury (21 and Sarah (19) with them.

It is reported on Ancesty that "Otho (b.1787) married Rhoda Unsworth (b.1781), and her parents were Barzilla Unsworth & Elisabeth Hampson" 1827 Thomas Mather 1808 Ann Mather 1816 Walter Mather 1821 Hannah Mather 1819 Elizabeth Mather 1810 - 1886 Peter Mather 76 76 1812 Ann Bottomley 1823 Benjamin Robinson Benjamin was a spinner and widower from Ardwick when he married Ann Mather in 1845. 1849 Rhoda Ann Robinson 1814 James Mather ~1755 - 1800 Ann Eckersley 45 45 Who was Ann of Astley?

There seem to be two (or three) John and Ann marriages and families.  In July-1775 John Mather of Standish married Ann Eckersley by licence at Deane having already had a son John baptised Feb-1775 (with mother and father named).  Then came Margaret (1776) and Bury (1777) and then the children stop!

There’s another family with births and burials at Astley (part of Leigh) from 1781.  Astley is between Leigh and Bolton.  There is no new Lancashire marriage which could be this John and Ann from Astley family.  It new seems that this is a continuation of the same family, now relocated to Astley.

The Dec-1781 marriage at Bolton to Ann Greenwood appears to be a close fit for John Mather which almost fits the Astley family, except Rachel was born 1781 before the December marriage (so John would not be from Standish).   Also Ann Greenwood and John Mather are believed to be another family who had married and lived in Bolton (also in this tree).

There is also an Anne (with and “e”) Spencer and John Mather marriage at Haslingden in 1775 but this is North of Bolton, and too early.
 1807 - 1807 Ellis Mather 1781 - 1788 Rachel Mather 7 7 1789 Rachel Mather No obvious death or marriage for Rachel, so what happened to her? 1800 - 1801 Ann Mather 1 1 1794 - 1797 Mary Mather 2 2 1797 Thomas Mather In 1818, Thomas Mather married Ann Hulton.  It may be this Thomas (tbc).  Thomas's half-brother Henry was born in Middleton in 1817, so its quite likely. 1837 Leigh Mather 1839 John Mather 1847 Hannah Mather Hannah (44) was living with her sister Sarah Ann Stubbs family in 1891 1841 James Mather James missing from 1861 census 1853 Sarah Ann Mather Sarah Ann Mather married Samuel Charles Stubbs (b.1855) from Taunton, Somerset. 1823 Ann Leah Ann was much (22y) younger than James, but its clear from the 1861 census Ann (36) daughter of of Joseph and Mary Leah was the wife of the paper maker, Joseph Mather (58) living with them. 1804 Ann Mather 1800 Nancy Mather What happened to Nancy?  There's a Nancy Taylor, born Whitefield on the 1851 & 1871 census records which could be her.  This Nancy married John Taylor and had Hannah b. 28 May 1828.  She may have married Ellis Vickars, but there's no trace of them after the banns. 1813 John Mather 1812 Mary Bolton Mary had been married before, as she was Mary Coates, daughter of John Bolton when she married John, aged 30 1815 Nathan Mather Nathan is a spanner in the works.  He and his mother Elizabeth are from Leeds.

Is there a Yorkshire and a Prestwich Berry Mather?  Is that why there is such a gap between baptisms.  However the burial of Burry in Bradford is a perfect age match, so more likely he married a different Elizabeth before 1815. 1829 Sarah (Sally) Greenwood 1807 - 1830 Ashton Mather 23 23 Like his father, Ashton was also a Tailor when he died, aged 23 years.  He never married. 1812 Lucy Mather Lucy Mather married John Smethurst, 6 Mar 1836 at Middleton, Lancashire, England.  John was a Cotton Opperative.  They had a family of at least 6 at Ashton under Lyne. 1810 - 1837 Rachel Mather 27 27 Rachel died a spinster of Middleton (recorded on burial record), aged only 27. 1808 Elizabeth (Betty) Mather Elizabeth married Dennis Ogden, a Widower and Weaver at Middleton, 20 Aug 1826.

Betty and Dennis lived at Whitefield.  Their infant son James (of Dennis and Betty) died 1828 as was buried at Prestwich.  They also had Sarah (1833), Ann (1835) and William (1837), and then nothing. 1822 - 1891 Moses Mather 69 69 Moses was 20 in 1841, with his parents John and Ann.  The Moses aged 15 with Ellis Mather at Mather's Fold is another.

In 1871, Moses, John and Samuel (48, 46 & 30) were living with their sister Ann (and Thomas) Maddock and family at Heywood.

In 1881, Moses (Widower, 58) and Samuel (41) were boarding with their sister Ann Manock (47) hand her husband Thomas (42) and family. 1796 - 1866 John Mather 70 70 John married Ann, and moved to Heap, Lancashire where they had James, Moses, John, Joseph, Ann and Samuel Mather.

John was a Sand Dealer in 1841, living with Ann (both 40) and their 6 children at Knowles Brow, Bury.  Since his son Moses was with Ellis Mather, it is assumes John is his brother.

In 1851, John (farmer) and Ann (54 & 51) were at Knowles Brow, Heywood, Heap with James (30), Moses (28), John (26), Joseph (24), Ann (17)  and Samuel (11)

In 1822, Nathaniel of Harwood (and Alice), Weaver had a son John baptised.

Nancy Mather (1800-1822) was originally thought to be the daugher of Richard Mather and Hannah Knowles. However once it was realised that Nathaniel is also from Harwood and their oldest son, then Nancy is clearly his first wife.

Nathaniel and Nancy had a son John in Nov 1822, but Nancy died during or soon after giving birth.  John died 9 months later.  They are buried together at Bradshaw Chapel. 1902 - 1954 George Eric Hilton James 52 52 1904 - 1969 Leila Winifred James 65 65 1908 - 2001 Marguerita Sarah James 93 93 Marguerita (or Marguerite) married John Gass (1905-1981).  They had two daughters. 1786 - 1832 Martha 46 46 Martha wife of Bold Mather of Little Bolton was buried 8th March 1832, aged 46.

Otherwise, is there another Bold Mather? 1847 - 1903 James Dawson (Mather) 56 56 James was born 1874 before his parents married, so his name is recorded as James Dawson.  Because of this he didnt name his father on his marriage record.  The baptism record confirms his father was Peter Mather.  He was later known as James Dawson Mather.

In 1841, Moses and David are missing from the census ~1780 Charles Nuttall ~1804 Nanny Buckley Named Martha when daughter Martha baptised, but Moses was a weaver, not a taylor, so may be another. 1785 Sally Tong ~1808 Dennis Ogden 1791 Lucy Mather 24 Nov 1818, Lucy Mather probably married James Booth at St Mary's Oldham.  There is no other Lucy Mather from Oldham.

Thomas was a cotton spinner like his other male siblings.  However, the marriage in Bolton to Mary Ann Beswick 14 July 1850 must be another, as Thomas was with his "brother" James in 1851, unmarried. 1914 - 1994 Margaret Elizabeth Forrest 80 80 1784 Leah Mather 20 Jul 1800, Leah Mather of Middleton married Robert Hampson.  James Mather (her father) was witness.
