Richard and Peter are most probably brothers, as both families baptisms are listed on the first page of the Walmsley Chapel baptism book.  One Peter's baptism record suggest they may from Hulton (Deane), and sons of John Mather, although it is more likely this is another Peter and they are from Turton and their records are lost!

Another possibility is that Richard is the son of Richard Mather and Susan Smith who married at Manchester 1 Feb  1732. This would explain Richard's daughter Susan (i.e. named after her grandmother).

Richard was of this Parish (Bolton), and a weaver.  He was probably about 24 when he married Ann, which was almost certainly his first marriage (as there are no earlier marriages in Bolton for a Richard Mather).  A Turton burial in 1826 for Richard, aged 89 supports this.

Another likely possibility is that he is from Warrington, son of John a Butcher, and Ellen.  This family also had a Peter, and both Richard and Peter (and Isaac) are missing from the Warrington records.  His other siblings all remained in Warrington and became butchers.  First son Isaac would be named after his younger brother.

Richard and Ann already had Isaac, and James was on the way when they married on 6 April 1761.  Isaac and Susanna were baptised at Bank Street Unitarian, but Isaac had missed his baptism.  They changed to Walmsley Presbyterian (perhaps they were not known there), and had Isaac baptised out of order, followed by the other children in the correct order.

The first children were baptised at Bank Street Unitarian and then after 1763 at Walmsley Presbyterian.

25 May 1826, Richard died in the Turton Workhouse, aged 89.
 1742 - ~1805 Peter Mather 63 63 WARNING: Parent are not confirmed.

There are only 3 Bolton marriages for a Peter Mather, and two of these are a few years appart, suggesting Peter was widowed and married twice.  However, the marriage to Betty Mayo is believed to be another Peter Mather from Hulton.

The family seem to have travelled a bit:  Ellen baptised 1771 at Bank Street, Thomas I was baptised 1774 at Walmsley, Thomas II was baptised 1777 in Blackburn, Peter 1783 at Horwich, and John 1788 at Rivington.  All records show abode as Great Bolton, so it seems they moved to different independant chapels for the baptisms, rather than be moving home, which must be difficult for a hand-loom weaver.

James Mather was witness at Peter's marriage. This may have been his brother.  Richard and Ann's children are also listed on the same non-conformist register, so it is likely Peter had a brother Richard. 1786 - 1853 Thomas Mather 67 67 Thomas, son of Arthur and Hannah Bennet his wife.

In 1841, Thomas was a Smith (i.e. Blacksmith)

1853, Thomas Mather of Cockhedge, Warrington died aged 67 ~1810 Mary Bradshaw 1713 - 1768 John Mather 55 55 John, son of Samuel, baptised in 1713 was a Butcher at Warrington.  His first son was named after his father.

4 April 1734, John Mather, Butcher fo Warrington married Ellen Blinstone of Warrington.

From 1734 to 1757, John and Ellen had 11 children, all with baptism records showing John a Butcher. 1714 - 1780 Ellen Blinstone 66 66 1737 - 1769 Thomas Mather 31 31 Thomas died just after his father, aged 31.

He was buried at St Elphin, Warrington, aged 31, son of Ellen Mather Widow (so unmarried). 1740 - 1835 Margaret Mather 95 95 24 Feb 1757, Margaret possibly married John Johnson, both of Warrington by licence.  However she was quite young.

2 Jan 1765, more likely, Magaret married 2 John Wainwright.  He was also a butcher like Margaret's father and brothers. 1750 Isaac Mather There was another Isaac Mather (1745-1827) at London St Ethelburga, London and had a family in Middlesex.

19 Jul 1813 another Isaac Mather married Mary Mitchell at Warrington.  Their witness was Hannah Mather, and this Isaac had no close relatibe Hannah. 1745 - 1825 Ralph Mather 80 80 There was another Ralph Mather, born Warrington in 1749, son of John and Jane, a tailor.

April 1768, Ralph Mather married Margaret Boss at Warrington. This is confirmed as Ralph was a butcher. 1736 - 1764 John Mather 28 28 Note: There is another John born in 1766, son of Joseph and Margery Mather.

John was a butcher and died young in 1764, aged 29 1733 - 1811 Samuel Mather 78 78 Samuel and John were both Butchers in their father's business.

14 Feb 1763, Samuel Mather a Butcher from Warrington married Sarah Curran (X), widow of Liverpool at St George, Derby Square, Liverpool 1757 - 1784 Emma Mather 27 27 1748 Joseph Mather Joseph was a Butcher, and later became a Farmer 1753 Ellen Mather Ellen may have had an illegitimate child, Isaac, baptised at Warrington 9 Jan 1780.  ~1770 John Mather All the childrens baprism records from 1791 at Warrington show John Mather is a butcher.  However he was a butcher from Liverpool when married in 1790. ~1770 Ellen Cropper 1791 Margaret Mather 1793 - 1800 Peter Mather 6 6 1795 - 1796 Robert Mather 5m 5m 1796 - 1838 John Mather 42 42 1799 - 1800 Alice Mather 1 1 1801 - 1842 Peter Mather 40 40 1805 - 1808 Ellen Mather 3 3 1803 - 1804 Alice Mather 2m 2m ~1736 - 1767 Margaret Newell 31 31 There is no evidence that Margaret re-married.  She probably died in 1767, soon after John. ~1740 John Wainright Wainwright (when married) more typically spelt Wainright. ~1730 Sarah Curran Sarah was a widow when she married Samuel.  We dont know her maiden name. 1747 - 1785 Margaret Boss 38 38 1746 - 1792 Mary Morris 46 46 1787 Thomas Mather 1791 John Mather 1766 Sarah Mather 1770 Samuel Mather 1760 Alice Mather 1762 Mary Mather 1767 - 1768 Alice Wainright 1 1 1772 - 1773 Margaret Wainright 9m 9m 1773 - 1776 Martha Wainright 2 2 1765 James Wainright 1769 John Wainright 1771 Alice Wainright 1775 Thomas Wainright 1777 Charles Wainright 1770 - 1784 Betty Mather 14 14 1794 Isaac Mather ~1755 Martha Houghton 1792 Barbara Mather 1758 - 1758 Elen Mather 2m 2m 1752 - 1759 Peter Mather 7 7 Unconfirmed birth before John and Margaret were married.  However, 1759 burial record does name both parents and son peter aged 7.. Josiah Mather Ann 1750 Richard Mather 1748 Elizabeth Mather 1753 - 1754 Benjamin Mather 4m 4m 1777 - 1846 Thomas Mather 69 69 In 1841, Thomas and Elizabeth (64 & 60) were at Church Street, Warrington with Hannah, Esther, Jane and Elizth (28, 26, 24 & 21) and Mary Hyslop and others. 1781 Hannah Penketh 1813 Hannah Mather 1815 Esther Mather 1817 Jane Mather 1820 Elizabeth Mather 1811 John Gleave Mather 1820 - 1847 Peter Mather 27 27 In 1841, Peter and Mary (both 20) were at Glass-house Row, Warrington.

In 1851, Mary Mather (30) was with Margaret (8), Ellen (5) and William (2), and her brother George Gleave (20) at Bank Quay, Warrington
 ~1794 Peter Mather This cannot the Peter, son of John (a butcher) and Ellen from Warrington baptised in 1793, as that Peter died in 1800.

Peter and Margaret from Bank Quay, Husbandman and Lanourer
 1799 - 1856 Margaret Moors 57 57 1845 Ellen Mather 1843 Margaret Mather 2 Jan 1865 Margaret married Edwin Dean at Denton, Lancashire. 1848 William Mather William was an illegitimate child of Mary, born 2 years after Peter Mather had died. 1819 Thomas Mather 1823 - 1857 Samuel Mather 34 34 In 1843, Samuel Mather son of Peter and Margaret married Martha Stanley (Stanway) at Grappenhall, St Wilfrid, Warrington.

In 1841, there was a Samuel Mather (17) at Padgate, Rixton living with likely parents and farmers John and Mary (both 40) and several other siblings.  Therefore the Samuel at Rixton in 1851 is likely the wrong person.

In 1851, Samuel (27) was a File Cuter in Rixton, Warrington married to Martha Stanway (32) with Jane (6), John (4) and James (3) (MMN confirmed on GRO records).

Samuel died aged 34 and is buried at Christ Church Graveyard, Padgate, Warrington. 1826 - 1827 James Mather 1 1 1829 Ann Mather <unknown> Together in 1841 Created using GenoPro® Click for details.
