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 Richard (and Isaac) are missing from the Warrington records.  Peter stayed in Warrington as a Tobacconist, so they are not the brothers.  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.
 ~1740 - ~1805 Peter Mather 65 65 WARNING: Parent are not confirmed, and the Peter from Warrington, son of John a butcher is another Peter, a tobacconist (like his uncle).

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.

In 1768, Thomas, butcher died, recorded aged 53 (should be 55).  A year later his son Thomas also died. 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 relative Hannah.

8 Sep 1804, Isaac Mather born about 1744, a Joiner from Houghton ?????? was imprsoned in Lancaster Goal for 3 months for Bestroy 1745 - 1825 Ralph Mather 80 80 There was another Ralph Mather, born Warrington in 1749, son of John and Jane, a tailor.

John was a butcher and died young in 1764, aged 29 1757 - 1784 Emma Mather 27 27 Emm Da to John Mather Butcher & Ellen his wife. 1748 - 1807 Joseph Mather 58 58 Joseph was a Butcher, and later became a Farmer

17 Nov 1768, Joseph may have married Mary Rowland

29 Jan 1785, Joseph married Mary Morris.  Their sons John and Thomas born 1787-1791 show that Joseph, like his father, was a Butcher.

11 Apr 1793, Joseph Mather may have married Betty Andrews by licence at Warrington, Lancashire 1753 Ellen Mather Ellen may have had an illegitimate child, John baptised at Burtonwood in 1769 (who later became a butcher), and later Isaac, baptised at Warrington 9 Jan 1780.  1769 John Mather John a base son of Ellen Mather of Burtenwood, baptised 1769.  It was his cousin John, son of and Margaret and John who was a butcher, born 1764.

 ~1770 Ellen Cropper (Dierden) 1770 marriage records to John show Eileen Cropper, but Geneanet shows Eileen Dierden !  Her death in Jan 1800 may be correct (tbc).  Ellen Dierden married a John Mather at Winwick 12 Sep 1785 1791 - 1868 Margaret Mather 76 76 Margaret may have married Thomas Abraham (b.1796) 1793 - 1800 Peter Mather 6 6 1795 - 1796 Robert Mather 5m 5m 1796 - 1838 John Mather 42 42     
24 Jun 1827, John may have married Mary Marsh at Warrington (tbc).  The is no occupation shown 1799 - 1800 Alice Mather 1 1 1801 - 1842 Peter Mather 40 40 Peter may have died in 1842, but unconfirmed.  There is no evidence of Peter Mather a Buitcher (from marriages or baps). 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. 1747 - 1785 Margaret Boss 38 38 1746 - 1792 Mary Morris 46 46 1787 - 1822 Thomas Mather 35 35 This is the Thomas of Crossley Street, Warrington (shown on children's births and his 1822  death record)

11 Apr 1819, Thomas married Hannah Molyneux.  Thomas died 3 years later.

The Thomas Mather that married Hannah Penketh from Tranmere 8 Oct 1799 is another born about 1777.  In 1841, that Thomas and Hannah (64 & 60) were living at Church Street, Warrington with Hannah (28), Esther (26), Jane (24) and Elizabeth (21). 1791 John Mather In 1825 John was living at Crossley Streeet (where his brother Thomas lived before he died). Hannah, Samuel and Joseph (triplets) were all born there. 

In 1826, Mary, daughter of John and Mary from Poulton was baptised at Warrington.  All 4 births show John as a Husbandman. 1760 - 1786 Alice Mather 26 26 WARNING: There was another Alice Mather born in 1760, Baptised 29 Jun 1760 at Warrington, daughter of Josph a gardiner and Margery.

The only Alice Mather marriage at Warrington is 23 Oct 1799 to James Rowston (and then another in 1810).  It appears Alice remained a spinster. 

In July 1876, the death record confirms Alice died a spinster, aged 26. 1762 Mary Mather WARNING: There was also Mary daughter of Henry, a carpenter and Sarah Mather born in 1762.

1 Aug 1762, Mary Mather baptised; Daughter of John Mather a butcher & Margaret.  (e.g. John Hocroft 1784 at Eccles or Jn'o Boyd 1785 at Bolton). 

19 Oct 1788, The best marriage match is to Thomas Bennett at Warrington.

It is not clear who Mary married, but reasonable to assume she didn't die an infant. 1767 - 1768 Alice Wainright 1 1 1772 - 1773 Margaret Wainright 9m 9m 1773 - 1776 Martha Wainright 2 2 1765 James Wainright 5 Jan 1788, James Wainwright married Margaret Clare at Great Budworth, Cheshire.

Peter and Margaret from Bank Quay, Husbandman and Labourer
 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 a year after his fatgher Peter Mather had died.  His father is possibly William Ogden, a shoemaker and boarder with his mother Mary in 1861.

In 1861, although his mother Mary was a widow and unmarried, William had 4 more younger siblings. 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.

11 Oct 1841 Samuel Mather, minor, a soap boiler of Parr, son of Peter a farrier married Sarah Goulding at  St Luke (formerly St Wilfrid), Farnworth (Widnes), Lancashire.  (Brother Peter's 1840 marriage also shows his father Peter a Farrier, and Peter a Soap Cutter)

Note: John Mather and Ellen Blinstone family, John's grandparents, were also butchers at Warrington and had more than 10 chuldren between 1733-1757.
 1691 - 1727 Richard Blinstone 36 36 Richard and Thomas were both baptised at Burtonwood and buried at Prescot. ~1693 - 1755 Margaret (?) 62 62 1659 - 1713 Thomas Blinstone 54 54 Thomas and Marharet Hall are the reputed parents of Sir Thomas Blinston (1684-1709) of Frodsgam, but that is not possible if the 1688 death record is correct. 1648 Margaret Hall Margaret Hall, married (another) Thomas Blinston at Fredsham, Cheshire 24 Feb 1678, not part of the Mather tree. 1693 - 1766 Thomas Blinstone 73 73 Richard and Thomas were both baptised at Burtonwood and buried at Prescot, together with Thomas's wife Winifred.

After wife Winifred died in 1736, Thomas remarried Margaret Mather 2 Dec 1739.

In 1841, Sarah Whittaker (40) was at Hulme with Satah (15), James (14), Elizabeth (10), Martha (8), Ellen (6), Mary (5), and Emma (3). 1796 - <1841 William Whitaker 45 45 1833 Martha Whitaker 1834 Ellen Whitaker 1836 Mary Whitaker 1838 Emma Whitaker 1878 - 1949 Amy Ethel Hanson 71 71 1831 - 1834 Elizabeth Whitaker 3 3 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 ~1730 Sarah Curran Sarah was a widow when she married Samuel.  We dont know her maiden name. 1766 Sarah Mather 10 Aug 1784, Sarah married Thomas Caldwell at St Elphin, Warrington, Lancashire.  The witnesses were Thomas Orford and John Caldwell.  There don't apear to be any children.

Thomas died in 1811, and his widow Sarah remarried in 1814 and had a daughter Hannah Bennet.

27 Sep 1820, Sarah wife of Thomas Caldwell was buried at Witton-cum-Twambrooks, Cheshire, aged 54. A perfect days match, but this was Sarah Bagaley, who married Thomas in 15 Nov 1792 at Witton-cum-Twambrooks, 1770 - 1835 Samuel Mather 65 65 6 Jan 1791, Saamuel Mather, butcher (like his father) married Ellen Boardman, both from Liverpool at Liverpool St Nicholas.

They must have continued Samuel's Butcher Business as in 1795, Sarah daughter of Samuel a Butcher was born in Warrington.

1836, Samuel Mather of Garden Row, Warrington died, aged 65. 1754 - 1811 Thomas Caldwell 57 57 10 Aug 1784, Thomas Caldwell married Sarah Mather at Warrington by Banns.  This is the only marriage to a Sarah, so the burial of Ann at St Elphin in 1792, aged 12 and Mary in 1801, aged 1 day must be theirs, even though there are no baptisms.  The records do however, show Thomas is a farmer.

The burial record shows Thomas was born about 1766, so older than Sarah.  Sarah is therefore likely to have remarried. 1771 - 1855 Ellen Boardman 84 84 In 1841, Ellen Mather (70, F.S.), living with Robert Boardman (assumed brother) and William Hill (60, a Groom) at Warrington

Jenkinson 103 103 DNA suggests Mollie's DNA match is Paternal, not Maternal, so this is likely a false match to Marjorie Mather Young. 1896 - 1968 Frederick Taylor 72 72 1811 Hannah Mather 28 April 1811, Hannah, daughter of Barbara Mather, Illegitimate, baptised at Warrington. ~1790 Hannah Molyneux 1819 Elizabeth Mather 1821 Mary Mather Mary 1825 Hannah Mather 1825 Samuel Mather 1825 Joseph Mather 1836 Mary Mather 1764 - 1810 John Mather 46 46 All the children's baprism records from 1785 at Warrington show John Mather is a butcher.  However he was a butcher from Liverpool when married in 1790.

Baptism: 6 Aug 1742, son of John a Butcher and Ellen.

1762: There is no marriage for a Peter in Warrington.  This is probably the Perer who married Alice Worthington at Liverpool, St Thomas.

However, there is no Warrington burial for Nancy

In 1814, John married Sarah Caldwell. The marriage record doesnt state spinster (as is usually the case) so they were probably widow and widower.  Daughter Hannah was born in December.  John was a Clock Maker at Battersby Lane. 1814 Hannah Bennett It was another Hannah (MMN = Cook on GRO) who married William Smith, a miner and had John, Thomas, Joseph etc at Windle, Prescot, Lancashire.  In 1851, this Hannah Smith, 34, born Warrington was a widow with her 5 sons.
