In 1790, Martha Ramsden married Solomon Mather.  They lived at Hall-i'th'Wood and had at least 5 children.

In 1844 Solomon died, and it appears Martha was still alive but apparently not with Solomon who was living with his daughter Ann in 1841.  His death records records his occupation as "Husband of Mather Mather, Hand Loom Weaver".

In 1841, Martha (75, Ind) may have been living at Castle Hill (farm), Hindley, Wigan with John Grime (26, Farmer) and Elizabeth Thomason (55, Assistant farmer). She was still there in 1851,  If this was her, then she died at Hindley in 1852, aged 89. 1806 - 1874 Mary Helm 68 68 Helm on marriage, although Helme on children's baptisms

Joseph and Mary are buried at Astley Bridge, St Paul. 1805 - 1843 Sarah Rostron 38 38 Of Bolton parish according to marriage.

In 1841, Joseph, a weaver (35) and Sarah (35) were with James (10) and Joseph (5), at Eagley, Turton.  Their neighbour was Solomon, Betty and family. 1844 Ellen Mather 1846 Ann Mather 1850 - 1934 Jane Mather 84 84 Jane married David Fowler (b.1849) 1831 - 1859 James Mather 28 28 1837 - 1837 Richard Mather 4m 4m 1833 - 1835 Solomon Mather 2 2 1835 - 1886 Joseph Mather 51 51 Joseph (of Little Bolton) married Elizabeth Ann Rostron (of Turton) on 26 Sep 1857, and had children Sarah and Ellen and others.

In 1861 Joseph and Elizabeth Ann were living at Toppings, Turton

In 1870 the family were living at Bromley Cross (based on 1911 census showing Ellen's birthplace) 1840 - 1841 Ellen Mather 1 1 1842 - 1842 Martha Mather There are two Martha Mather births registered with MMN as Rostron (Q3-1841 and Q1-1841). They are less than 9 months appart, so are of different mothers.  The other Martha is the daughter of Richard and Mary Mather (nee Rosthorn) who married the same year. 1803 - 1870 Betty Barns 67 67 Betty was living at Astley Bridge when she died in 1803.  She and Solomon are buried, with flat-stone, at Christ Church, Walmsley. 1830 - 1880 William Mather 50 50 1833 - 1909 Ann Mather 75 75 Anne was baptised on the same day as Samuel, son of Samuel (a basket maker) and Ann Mather of Little Bolton.

An was recorded as aged 31, spinster when she married James (32) in 1864. 1837 - 1886 Jane Mather 49 49 1840 - 1907 Thomas Mather 66 66 Sidney's baptism shows that like his father, he is also from Eagley, Sharples near Astley Bridge.

Thomas was witness at his sisters Jane's marriage of 1863 and Ann's marriage in 1864.

Indexed as Frances Mather in 1861 census 1832 James Haslam James was the son of Richard Haslam (a publican) and Mary of Great Bolton.

A Clerk in Mill (1864-5), and then became a manager (1867) and overlooker (1875). 1865 Alice Haslam 1868 Annie Jane Haslam 1875 - 1953 Richard Marsden Haslam 77 77 Richard was the manager of a cotton spinning mill and died a wealthy man.  He lived with his two sisters.  He left over £83,000 to Percy Bowker Haslam, an accountant. 1791 - 1866 Betty Mather 74 74 Betty is Solomon and Matty's first child, baptised 3 Jul 1971. They went along to the Presbyterian Walmsley Chapel with James and Betty Mather (from Goose Cote Hill) who had their daughter Margaret baptised the same day.  These were the only two baptisms at Walmsley that day.

In 1841, there is Betty Mather (50), in the Bolton Union Workhouse.  This is the right age, so could be her if she didnt marry.

In 1851 Betty Mather (64) was cotton weaver in the Turton Workhouse.  However her place of birth is Westhoughton so may not be her!

In 1861 Betty Mather (71) is still in the workhouse, and still shown as born at Westhoughton.  It may be her, but she was baptised at Walmsley.

A Betty Mather married James Makinson (Farmer) in Bolton 29-Nov-1813, which is a perfect age match! 1841 - 1922 Betsy Pendlebury Langshaw 81 81 Betsy's father is John Langshaw, a dyer (b.1813).  Her mother was Hannah Pendlebury (b.1808).  Se wasn't baptised until she was 10 years old.

Betsy emigrated to Fairfield, Connecticut, USA and appears on the 1900, 1910 and 1920 US census 1865 - 1898 Edward Mather 32 32 In 1901, Martha (i.e. not Margaret) Mather (36, Wid) was head with her sons Seymore S (13), Harold H (11) and Horice V (8) 1866 - 1949 Sidney Mather 83 83 Sidney and Albert emigrated to the US. 

15 Oct 1895: Date of naturalisation at Bridgeport, Conn. 1868 Eveline Mather 1869 Albert Mather Sidney and Albert emigrated to the US. 

Albert of 2407 Fairfield Ave, Bridgeport, Conn applied for naturalisation.  (Denied 30 Sep 1915, Dead). 1871 Elizabeth Hannah Mather 1873 Clara Mather 1875 Arthur Mather 1878 Gertrude Mather ~1835 John Gregory John was a manager at Farzley when he married Jane.

John's father was also John, a stone mason. 1792 - 1872 James Mather 79 79 There's a James that married Ellen Mercer in 1797, and had their children baptised at Dukes Alley Chapel (NC) but this is obviously another.  From 1806, James's father Solomon also started using Bank Street.

28 Nov 1836, James married Mary Heaton.  Wright Crompton, b.~1810 the L.B. Blacksmith was witness.

James Mather is on the 1841, 1851, 1861 (married to Mary) at Pocket, Rumworth, and 1871 census (widowed), born Turton with the correct age.

In 1861, James and Mary (68 & 69) are at Pocket, Rumworth.  James and Betsey Banks (24 & 26) are neighbours, with a possible DNA trail..

The 1871 census also shows James (78, Wid) is with his sister Ann (50) born Hall-i’th’-Wood (the same as brother Solomon).  Ann Scott (41) is a Lodger.

James (45) and Mary (50) ware living at Pocket, Rumworth, (There's a Pocket Nook Rd at Chew Moor), Rumworth in 1841, 1851 and his wife Mary died there in 1871. 

John Mather (15, MS) was the only other Mather in Rumworth in 1841.  He was probably James's son from an earlier marriage. 1828 - 1913 Ann Horrobin 84 84 From the headstone, we know Ann's parents were Betty (buried with her) and Roger Horrobin. Roger, a weaver, is also named on marriage record.

In 1861, Ann Mather (33, Wid) was with her mother Elizabeth Horrabin (70) at 150 Blackburn Road.  Her daughter Elizabeth (aged 4) is missing!

In 1871 Ann (40, Wid) is with her daughter Elizabeth A (13) at 29 Sand Hole, Astley Bridge

17 Sep 1872, Ann Mather (40, Widow) of 73 Bridgeman Street, daughter of Robert Horrabin (dec) married James Turner (38, Widower) of 33 Argyle Street, an Engine Tenter at St Peter's Bolton.

In 1910, Abraham and Ellen (66 & 67) were living with their son-in-law and daughter, William and Annie Brown (33 & 31) at Yonkers Ward 7, Westchester, New York. 1851 Elizabeth Heapy Samuel and Elizabeth baptised on same day (assumed twins).

Elizabeth married Alexander Clegg in 1878 and they had her mother Catherine with them in 1881 (and sister Sarah). 1851 - 1853 Samuel Heapy 1 1 Samuel and Elizabeth baptised on same day (assumed twins) 1841 - 1841 Elizabeth Heapy 7m 7m 1768 - 1844 Solomon Mather 76 76 Like his father, Solomon was a weaver.  He married Martha Ramsden 20 OCt 1790.  It was another Solomon of Edgworth that married Mary Grime 9-Aug-1809 at Bolton.

In 1790, Solomon married Marha Ramsden (Matty) and had Betty and James baptised at Walmsley (1791 & 1792). For 14 years, Births and Baptism are missing until 1806 when Joseph was baptised. 

From 1800 Solomon lived at Hall-i’th’-Wood. His son Solomon was born there about 1800, and daughter Catherine and Ann were born there 1809-1813 (see 1871 census).

In 1841, Solomon Mather was still alive at Old Nells, Little Bolton (not Old Nells, Turton), a hand loom weaver with his daughter Ann (25).

30 Nov 1844 Solomon died.  His death was reported in the newspaper on 7 Dec 1844.  The death certificate (attached) shows he died of "Fits" at Old Ellen's, Sharples aged 76. Old Ellen's and Old Nell's are probably the same place (Nell is a pet name for Ellen).

In 1851 he was a neighbour of Joseph (of Tong) and Mary Mather and family (James, Joseph, Ellen, Ann & Jane).  Joseph was his first son.



 1800 - 1890 Solomon Mather 90 90 Solomon was born in Hall-i’th’-Wood, Toppings, Turton about 1800.  There is no christening record, but it is assumed he is the son of Solomon and Martha.

In 1841, Solomon (40) was a Smallware Weaver with wife Betty (35) and William, Ann, Jane and Thomas (10, 5, 4 & 12m) at Eagley, Turton.  His younger brother Joseph, Jane and family were neighbours (also S Weavers).

Solomon was a Weaver in Little Bolton when Anne was Baptised in 1833 and Jane Married.  In 1856 there was a fatal accident at Eagley Mill where a boy was killed while putting on a strap to the power mill.  Solomon had warned the lad not to do it (see Bolton Chronical 17 May 1856).

In 1863-64, Solomon was at Astley bridge when his three children married within a year of each other.

In 1871, Solomon (Wd, 71, Tape Weaver) is at 2 Park Terrace, Little Bolton.;  With him are his son-in-law James Haslam and Ann and their two children.

In 1881, Solomon is formerly a Weaver of Tapes (?), and from Toppings Turton. He is living with his daughter Ann Haslam

In 1841 and 1871, James and Mary were at Pocket, Rumworth.

They lived in Sharples 1797 - 1834 Sarah Firth 37 37 Sarah died several months after her daughter Sarah was born. 1824 John Heapy 1828 Ann Heapy 1831 George Heapy 1834 - 1835 Sarah Heapy 1 1 1848 - 1849 Elizabeth Heapy 1 1 1825 - 1899 Alice Cooper 74 74 William and Alice had the Mother-in-Law Rebecca Cooper with them in 1861.  William was a manger of a Sewing Manufacturer and they had a house servant. 1856 - 1908 Herbert Mather 51 51 1857 - 1916 Walter Mather 58 58 Walter died at Sharples Park, Astley Bridge, Bolton in 1916. 1861 - 1906 James William Mather 44 44 1862 - >1927 Harold Mather 65 65 Harold may moved from the area to Lytham.  He is the only son not to be buried at Walmsey Chapel.  He was a "Gentleman" and the last of the children to die, inheriting over £17,000 from his spinster sister Ada in 1927.

In 1891 he Married Margaret Ada Cooper and had four daughters.  The three youngest girls were all sent to private school at St. Anne on the Sea, Lytham (near Blackpool).  The oldest, Hilda, stayed with the family. 1865 - 1927 Ada Alice Mather 61 61 Ada never married.  She died at Wood Vicar, Duchy Rd, Harrogate in 1927 <unknown> ~1825 John Mather John Mather (15, M.S. for William Gill, a farmer) was the only other Mather in Rumworth in 1841.  He was possibly James's son.  1866 - 1900 Ernest Augustus Gregory 34 34 Ernest was a Yarn Merchant and a Freemason at the Lodge of Charity.

Joseph and Mary are buried at Astley Bridge St Paul. 1859 Ann Mather 1852 Joseph Greenhalgh In 1874, Joseph was aged 27 and a widower when he married Ann Mather, aged 20 at Walmsley Christ Church. 1865 - 1866 Alice Rosthorn 1 1 1803 - 1817 Mary Mather 14 14 A child would be expected about 1803, and Mary, born Bolton is a good match.  There is no obvious baptism of a Mary Mather from Little Bolton, and we know Solomon's children's baptisms are missing.  It is a calculated guess that Mary was the daughter of Solomon.  There is no baptism, and a gap where a child is likely to be.

Mary Mather was born 1803, also at Hall-i’th’-Wood (if she is Solomon's daughter).  She died July 1817, aged only 14. 1845 - 1848 Samuel Mather 3 3 1857 - 1937 Elizabeth Ann Mather 79 79 NOTE: There was another Elizabeth Ann Mather b.1853, daughter of John and Lelitia who married Ephriam Bennett.

There are no baptisms before 1806, but suerly Solomon would have had other children (including his son Solomon in 1800).  Sarah is very liokely.  She married Thomas Lowe, who was also born Hall-i’th’-Wood. 1803 - 1882 Nancy Mather 79 79 Samuel from Entwistle and Nancy Mather from the Turton Mather family of Toppings.  Most likely the daiughter of Solomon and Martha (or possibly Isaac & Nancy).  In 1881 Nancy's son George had niece Ann Mather (16) living with him.  This suggests Nancy is the daughter of Isaac.

Nancy Mather had an illegitimate daughter Eliza born 1819.  It may be this Nancy (tbc).

In 1841, Samuel and Nancy (both 35) were at Chapel Town, Turton with John (10), Elizabeth (5) and George (3).  Chapeltown is 1 mile SW of Edgwoth and 1.5 miles NE of Topppings, Turton.

Another possibility is a daughter of Solomon and Martha, also with a large gap where you may expect births. It is assumed that Sarah is one such person!
Because Solomon was born at Hall-i’th’-Wood, and so was Sarah's husband Thomas Lowe, then this seems the more likely.  Either would result in DNA matches.
