Soon after they married in 1841, Ann Mather (35) was with William Mather (65) at School Brow, Billinge Chapel End (part of Wigan).  William appears to have had a son William (15) from an earlier marriage.

William may have had a brother Peter (60) who was a neighbor also at School Brow in 1841. There were also several other Mathers households here including Tabatha (7), and another Ann Mather (70) with a daughter Ann (35), so quiite a Mather commune. 1808 - 1876 Ann Mather 68 68 14 Mar 1841 Ann Mather married William Mather.  This appears to have been her uncle (i.e. her father's younger brother),
