Other: Same person ? 1794 - 1841 Ellen Rigby 46 46 In 1841, Ellen, wife of Samuel Mather of Great Bolton died, aged 46. 1814 Marianne Mather Maryann Mather was listed as a Confectioner at 69 Market Street, Stalybridge in 1869. 1816 - 1869 Thomas Mather 53 53 10 Oct 1836, Thomas Mather and Ellen Warburton married at Warrington. NOTE: There are also MATHER+WARBURTON births registered at Warrington of another family.

Thomas and Ellen started their married life in Eastern Bolton where Ellen and Mary Ann were born.  in 1839, they moved to Burnley which is where Mary Ann's death is recorded.

In 1841, Thomas, a moulder, and Alice (both 20) were in Burnley with Ellen (4) and Alice (1)

In 1847, The family were living at Union Buildings when Mary Jane died, aged 8 months.  In 1855 they were at Bradshawgate when son Thomas died aged 5. Both children were butied at Bolton Holy Trinity.

Possibly boarding with Ann Mollineaux (nee Mather) and Thomas in Worsley in 1861, or more likely Thomas the Iron Moulder (like his father), maried to Ellen and living at Bradshawgate (both 45).

If married to Alice, then they lived in Burnley after they married in about 1835, and had Ellen aged 4 in 1841 who later died, and Ellen aged 1 who survived.  Thomas and wife Ellen were both born in Bolton and had returned to Bolton by 1846-48. 1819 - 1886 Alice Mather 66 66 9 May 1849 Alice Mather married Haney Latham.

Henry died in 1863 and 8 Aug 1864, Alice Latham (Full, Wid) of Little Bolton married Wilson Bleakley (Full, Wid), Inn Keeper of Little Bolton. 1826 - 1896 Ralph Mather 70 70 In 1841, Ralph Mather (15) was living with father Samuel, both Iron Moulders, at Dawes St, East Bolton.

28 Dec 1845, Ralph married Roseanna, but she died young in Apr 1852, aged only 24.  Then Ralph married Sarah Makin (maiden name) the following year.

12 Nov 1853, Ralph, already a widower of Little Bolton, married Sarah Butler the daughter of James Makin. His farther is recorded as Samuel.  He lived at 52 Halliwell Road.

In 1882 when Alice married, she was living at 38 Halliwell Road. 1829 - 1891 George Mather 62 62 Living with father Samuel, an Iron Moulder, at Dawes St, East Bolton in 1841.  George was also an Iron Moulder.

In Feb 1851, George Married Esther Glazenbrook.  They were both aged 21 at 12 Harson Street, W Bolton on the April census..

In 1861, George and Esther (31 & 32) were in E Bolton with son William (7) and Mary Ellen (1) and Esther's (assumed) mother Alice Glazenbrook (64).

In 1891, George (61, Wid) was living with his daughter Emma Airey 1778 - 1842 Betty Johnson 64 64 Betty's parents were Peter and Ellen.

Richard & Betty also had John Johnson (51 or 57) with them in 1841.  This was probably Betty's brother.  The whole family were hand loom weavers.  Nathan Johnson, another possible brother (or close relative) was witness at her marriage. 1804 - 1867 Thomas Mather 63 63 Thomas's father (aged 60), who was living in Farnworth in 1841 married Rachel Howarth on 23rd Oct 1842 at St John, Farnworth.

Thomas was living at Mather's court when he died in 1867.  The family continued to live there after his death.  Elizabeth, the youngest, was still there in 1881.
 1801 - 1871 Rachel Mather 70 70 In 1841, Rachael Mather (40) with parents Thomas and Betty at  Nelson Lane, Farnworth

Unmarried and with brother Thomas (head) in 1861, aged 60. 1780 - 1839 Matthias Mather 59 59 Mathias Mather was an important and successful person, listed at Howell Croft, Bolton in the 1818 Bolton Directory and 1821 directory.

In 1812, Matthias and Mary had a daughter Rachel baptised that must have died as another Rahcel was baptised in 1818.  Their last daughter Eliza born 1827 must also have died (missing from 1841 census), but there are no burial records for either of these two daughters.

In 1824, Mathias Mather, Iron Moulder is listed at 3 Derby Street in the Lancashire Gazetteer.

5 Jul 1835, Matthias Mather, Moulder and Widower married Ann Ironfield at St Mary's, Bury..

In Dec 1839, the partnership between Matthias Mather and Edwin Priestley Mather, under the firm of MATHER & SON of Great Bolton, as Chemists, Druggists and Grocers was dissolved by mutual consent.  Dated 11th but reported on the 21st, about 4 days after Mathias Mather died.

Mathias Mather and Mathias Mather jnr, both moulders, are listed at Derby St, Bolton in the 1820 Bolton Directory, and Mathias jnr (aged 30) is still there in the 1841 census.

Matthias died in East Bolton in 1839, leaving an estate worth about £3,000
 1769 - 1835 James Mather 66 66 James was the son of another James from Middle Hulton, but who was this James?  There are no other childrens baptisms at Deane, of James Mather.  There are baptisms at Leigh of James (& Sarah) in 1767,69,72,73,74,75 but these must be another as they overlap our James baptised in 1769.  Likewise James and Mary of Radcliffe with baptisms 1766 and 1769 are another. 1816 - 1850 Ann Mather 34 34 1819 - 1894 Elizabeth Mather 75 75 Elizabeth was baptised at the Halshaw Moor Chapel, Farnworth Independant, the only one of her family to be baptised here.

Unmarried and with brother Thomas (head) in 1861, aged 42

Elizabeth (sister) was named in the probate of Thomas Mather. 1822 - 1863 Henry Latham 41 41 Henry's father was Joseph Latham.

In 1841, Henry Latham (10) was at Kay Street, Little Bolton with William and Mary Lathem (35 & 40).  This may be another, as wrong assumed father.

In 1851, Henry and Alice (29 & 33) with lodgers John and James Hardcastle (18 & 16) were at 15 Hulme Street, Little Bolton. In the same house were Robert Latham (also 29, a rope maker) and his wife Sarah (28) and family.

In 1861, Henry and Alice (39 & 44) were at 37 Hulme Street with Robert at No. 35. They were not twins, possibly cousins (as Robert was born in Ormskirk). 1837 - 1905 Ellen Mather 68 68 Ellen, daughter of Thomas Mather married Robert Leatherbarrow in 1856 at Bolton Christ Church.  They used Mather as a middle name for some children.

Ellen spent most of her life pregnant.  Between 1856 when she married and 1882 Ellen had 17 children (one unnamed), the last Walter, born after they moved to Chadderton.  Only 4 boys survived past their second birthday.

In 1891, Ellen Leatherbarrow was 52, Wid at 136 Oldham Road, Failsworth, Lancashire with sons Thomas (20), Robert (18), George (12) and John F (25, nephew).

In 1892, Ellen Leatherbarrow married George Henry Buchanan.

In 1901, George and Ellen Buchanah (60 & 62) were at 27 Oldham Road, Failsworth with her sons Robert (27) and George Herbert (13), and also George's son Henry Buchanan (13). 1824 - 1840 Samuel Mather 16 16 1832 James Mather Missing from 1841 census (although brothers Ralph and George were at East Bolton), so presumed died or taken into care. 1792 - 1847 Samuel Mather 55 55 Samuel was an Iron Moulder, but not from Lancashire (possibly Stalybridge, Cheshire where Maryanna lived) or Nottinghamshire where there is a baptism, son of Hannah. His son Thomas married in Warrington in 1836.

In 1841, Samuel (45) was an Iron Moulder at Dawes Street, East Bolton with son Ralph (15) and George (12).  Hannah (assumed mother), a dress mamker, was also present, aged 60. Samuel and Hannah were not from Lancashire.

Ellen died in 1841.  In 1842, Samuel Mather, Widower, son of Thomas, was at York Street and Phebe Williams, Widow at Princess Street, North Manchester when they married at Manchester Cathederal, and then moved to L.B. 



~1725 - ~1786 Ann Whittle 61 61 John was a widower and Ann as Widow when they married.  She was possibly not Ann Shovelton who married to Thomas Whittle in 1745 (Deane), as I find no death for Thomas. ~1724 - 1801 Sarah Watson 77 77 Possible maiden for Sarah Mather (from marriages) are HINE (m.1843), HORROCKS (m.1844), SCHOFIELD (m.1846) and WHITEHEAD (m.1847).  Only SCHOFIELD has possible birth records, but a poor match.

If Elizabeth and Sarah are sisters, then this is Hannah (not Sarah) Wolfendale who married William in 1840 at Tyldesley. 1758 - 1758 James Mather 1m 1m 1759 Sarah Mather 1724 - 1797 James Mather 73 73 James, son of James Mather of Over Hulton, Weaver, baptised in January 1724

James's parents were probably James and Alice (Alice wife of James of Rumworth died in 1764). 1780 - 1848 Hannah Mather 68 68 This Hannah Mather was the widow of Thomas Mather, an Iron Moulder (see death cert).

It appears Hannah was head of household in 1841, living at Dawes Street (near Great Moor St), Bolton, a dress maker, and had son Samuel (45, b,~1795) with her.  There was also Ralph (15) and George (12), all Iron Moulders.  Hannah and Samuel were NOT from Lancashire.  Hannah also had a daughter Selina who was living at Dawes Street in 1840 at the time of her marriage.

Therefore this cant be the Hannah Knowles who married Richard Mather. ~1780 - <1838 Thomas Mather 58 58 By 1841 Thomas had died (most likely before 1837). 1810 - 1865 John Mather 54 54 John was the son of John Mather, a Weaver.

John (from Breightmet) and Ann were at Ladygate, Tonge with Haulgh in 1841.  John was a dyer, and they had their first child Mary (aged 2).

John and Hannah moved to Pilkington about 1840, where their third son William also died, followed by Hannah.  John, living at Deansgate, then remarried Elizabeth Holland nee Bostock in Dec 1848.  They had a daughter Sarah 9 months later, and John later became a Slater (see 1861 census).  They had a boarder John Hampson (54), a coal miner, boarding with them in 1861. 1814 - 1846 Hannah (Ann) Dearden 32 32 Hannah's father was possibly John (1762-1839), who is also buried at Ainsworth. 1839 Mary Mather 1835 - 1837 William Mather 1 1 1842 - 1843 William Mather 1 1 1834 - 1835 William Mather 9m 9m 1818 - 1861 Elizabeth Bostock 43 43 Only one match on LancashireBMD and FreeBMD, and appeard to also be known as Elizabeth Bostock (her maiden name, as she was the daughter of Joseph Bostock, a labourer).

John and Elizabeth had a daughter Sarah Ann, and John later became a Slater (see 1861 census).  They had a boarder John Hampson (54), a coal miner, boarding with them in 1861. 1849 Sarah Ann Mather John Mather <unknown> 1816 - 1847 Charles Holland 31 31 1776 - 1843 Thomas Mather 67 67 In 1798, Thomas married Betty Johnson.  A family of spinners in 1841

In 1841, Thomas and Betty (68 & 60) were at Nelson Lane, Farnworth with Rachel (40), Thomas (35), Ann (20) and Elizabeth (15).

In 1842, Thomas (60) married Rachel (36) at Farnworth with Kearsley, St John The Evangelist ~1754 - 1789 Jane (Jennet) Partington 35 35 Indexed as Jane "Packington" and "Partington" but could be Parlington or Darlington, but not Packington (see marriage record).

Cant find any other John and Jenette records, and suspect she is really Jane, which then connect with other births and marriage.

Jane Mather died in 1789, shortly after the last birth (of infant Isaac).  She would have been about 35. 1788 - 1802 Isaac Mather 14 14 Isaac was baptised son of Jenny.  Mother was "Jane" for all the other baptisms and burials, so possibly another family!

There was an Inquest for Isaac Mather at Little Bolton who died in 1802 in a Coal Pit (see Coroners compiled claims 1803).  This may have been this Isaac (although burial does not show parents so may have been an another adult Isaac Mather). 1775 - 1778 Lettice Mather 2 2 1785 John Mather In 1825, John (a Dyer) may have married Ann Whittle at Deane.  He had a grandmother of the same name.

This could be the John Mather that married Ann Coupe in 1811 and named their first daughter Jane (i.e. after his mother). D. 1786 James Mather 1778 - 1823 Lettice Mather 44 44 Lettice the first born 1773, died June 1778, so this Lettice was baptised just a couple of weeks later in July 1778
 ~1799 - 1799 Hannah Mather Hannah was an illegitimate daughter of Lettice Mather, buried at Turton 11 Nov 1799, before her mother married John Edge. 1780 - 1864 John Edge 84 84 In 1851 and 1861, John was living with his son Adam Edge at 42 Commission Street, Bolton 1805 Ann Edge 1807 Allias Edge Allias (Ellis) is a son of John and Lettice (so not Alice) 1814 Thomas Mather 1823 Charles Mather 1776 Thomas Mather ~1775 - <1841 Elizabeth (Betty) Higginbottom 66 66 In 1841: Thomas Mather was 65 at Hilton Lane, Little Hulton, Dean (4 miles S of Bolton).  He was an agricultural labourer living with Samuel Higginbottom (a farmer) and his family.  Thomas had married Eliz’h Higginbottom at Manchester 17-Oct-1802, so was a relative. ~1809 Ellen Mather Ellen Mather, Single Woman, had a child John, baptised 13 Oct 1825.  Her abode was also Rainhill, so probably as sister of Thomas and George. 1750 Alice Mather 2 April 1771, Alice Mather of Deane married John Howcroft or Bolton Parish 1754 - 1754 James Mather 3m 3m 1756 - 1756 Mary Mather 2m 2m 1752 - 1847 Richard Mather 95 95 There are two Richards from Deane Parish in 1852 (the other son of John). Either one may have married Nancy, but this Richard has a mother and daughter Sarah.

Richard and Nancy moved to Liverpool, where Richard possibly was a sailor (mariner).  The children were baptised in Liverpool. 1828 - 1852 Rosannah Peak 24 24 Rosanna's father was Francis Peak.

Childrens births are registered with MMN as PEAK and PEAKE. However, there was no MATHER+PEAKE marriage.

Rosannah was 24 on the 1851 census, but soon died, leaving son Thomas aged 4.  Rosannah died at or soon after giving birth to William Frances, who also died within 5 to 6 months.  Three other children also died.
 1816 Ellen Warburton Ellen, 45, was house keeper in 1861.

By 1871, Ellen was a widow, working as a confectioner.  She had her four youngest sons with her, and a domestic servant..

Ellen and family lived at 149 Bradshawgate in 1861 and 1871. 1844 Sarah Mather 1848 - 1906 James Warburton Mather 58 58 James married Esther Lever in 1869 (Bolton Le Moors, Holy Trinity) and moved to Over Darwen.  His youngest brother Walter was living with them in 1881. 1852 William Mather 1856 (John) Thomas Mather John Thomas, known as Thomas 1858 George Mather 1850 - 1855 Thomas Mather 5 5 1862 - 1884 Walter Mather 22 22 1859 Alice Mather 27 Sep 1882, Alice Mather of 38 Halliwell Road, daughter of Ralph, an Iron Moulder married Christopher Riley, son of James Riley, a painter at Bolton. 1829 - 1889 Sarah Makin 60 60 Sarah's father was James Makin.

SARAH MATHER died June 4th 1889, aged 60 years and is buried at the family grave at Tonge Cemetery. 1827 - 1852 John Butler 25 25 John's father was William Butler 1850 Elizabeth Ann Butler 1852 John Butler 1863 Hannah Mather 1866 - 1872 Sarah Ellen Mather 6 6 1869 - 1873 Clara Mather 4 4 ~1725 John Mather John lost his wife Mary when the twins were born.  With a young family to care for, he must have surely remarried.

John Married Ann Whittle 9 months after the death of hise first wife Mary.  They may have moved to St. Helens as there are births for Betty and Jeffery Mather in 1761 and 1763, which fit well with the marriage (none earlier) and also the re-use of Jeffery the the son that recently died. However son John was still in Bolton when he married in 1775. ~1725 - 1760 Mary Meadowcroft 35 35 Mary Meadowcroft (not Mary Moadworth as indexed).

Mary died giving birth to the twins Jeoffery and Martha, and was buried the day the twins were baptised.  With no mother, the twins also perished within two months. 1747 - 1751 John Mather 3 3 1752 Richard Mather 1753 - 1801 Lettice Mather 48 48 Her niece Lettice married John Edge 10-Apr-1802 1755 Mary Mather Possibly Mary of Bolton married Robert Holt (or Holt) of Deane in Nov 1773 1758 Alice Mather Alice seems to have survived, as there is no burial record for her. 1760 - 1760 Jeffery Mather 2m 2m 1760 - 1760 Martha Mather 1m 1m 1754 John Mather John named two daughters Lettice, named after his sister.

Abode: L.B. when Lettice (or Luttice), John & Isaac were baptised. 1750 - 1750 Richard Mather 9m 9m 1761 Betty Mather Probably the child of another John, not the one from Farnworth 1763 - 1818 Jeffery Mather 55 55 Probably the child of another John, not the one from Farnworth ~1752 Nancy Nichols ~1753 Richard Booth In 1777, Richard was a widow when he married Lettice.

Richard and Lettice lived at Heapey (where son John was born and Lettice died) 1792 John Booth 1784 Sarah Mather 1786 Henry Mather 1795 - 1855 Phoebe Diggle 60 60 Phebe Diggle was the daughter of Abraham Diggle, a dyer and Sarah his wife.

In 1841, Phoebe (64) was recently widowed, She had sons James, Daniel and Thomas (19, 17 & 15), all Mechanics.  She also had Phoebe (7) and Edward (3) from her second marriage. 1831 Sarah Moscrop In 1851, Sarah was 20 and with her mother Phebe mather in Little Bolton.

In 1852, Sarah married John Wilson at Bolton Christ Church 1834 Phebe Williams 1785 - 1841 Daniel Williams 56 56 Daniel Williams, Widower married Phebe Moscrop Widow at Deane 1796 - 1832 William Moscrop 36 36 William and Pheobe had three daughters: Ann (b.1822), Esther (b.1825) and Sarah (b.1831).  Only Sarah was with her mother in 1851. ~1832 John Wilson 1836 - 1870 Edward Williams 34 34 1818 Robert Moscrop Robert became head of family after his father died.

26 Aug 1844, William, son of Samuel Mather (both moulders) married Sarah Horrocks, daughter of Haman Horrocks (a weaver).

When his daughter Alice was baptised 26-Sep-1846, William was described as a Foundry-man.

William may have died in 1847, aged 25 which is why there are no more births, or maybe Sarah left him.

 1824 - 1856 Sarah Horrocks 32 32 26 Aug 1844, Sarah Horrocks, daughter of Haman Horrocks (a weaver) married William Mather.

In 1851, Sarah Mather was a married woman living with Ralph Hall (as lodgers with Alice Robinson).  It is probable this is Sarah Horrocks (who married William Mather in 1844). Sarah Horrocks is the correct age and was not with her husband William Mather in 1851.  It appears Ralph left her for another woman and Sarah committed suicide:

1856 Sarah Horrocks died by drowning.  See inquest (with death details) 1845 - 1846 Alice Mather 1 1 In 1891, "Alice Horrocks Mather" was 45 and single, but this is likely the second Alice if this Alice died. 1846 - 1846 George Mather 1846 - 1847 Mary Jane Mather 8m 8m 1800 - 1877 Samuel Mather 77 77 Samuel born 1800 was the son of Matthias Mather of Wibsey, Iron Moulder.

Samue Matherl, moulder, was at Spring Gardens in 1818 (trade directory).  His father Mathias Mather (also a moulder) was at Spring Gardens on the 1811 census. and at 2 Howell Croft in 1814.

Samuel Mather, Moulder, was at Spring Gardens in the 1818 and 1829 Bolton directories.

In 1841, the family may have been in Liverpool (tbc). The Samuel, Iron Moulder, at Dawes Street is another

In 1851, Samuel (51, Married, born Yorkshire), Iron Moulder was a lodger at 18 Lever Street, Little Bolton (with Ann Hyde, aged 60 and others).

His sister Ann was baptised in 1842, but not James. 1840 Anne Aspinall 18 Feb 1865, The marriage of Ann Aspinall, daughter of William to Robert Booth was announced in the Manchester Courier. they married at Middleton, St Leonard.  In 1871, this Robert and Ann (40 & 29) were in Cheetham, living with Robert's father James Booth (62).  They had 3 sons.  It could be them!

A month later son James was born and baptised at Bolton Bridge Street (Wesleyan), with mother named Nancy.

They may have had a child Samuel in 1828 that died aged 17 weeks.  If this is theirs, then John was a Farmer at Little Hilton (mother named Ann).

In 1861, John and Nancy (60 & 56), borth born Bolton, were at Greengate, Salford with no children.  John was a Maker-up of Flax Yarn.



 1795 - 1829 Ann (Nancy) Whittle 34 34 Ann and John do not appear to have had children (no baptisms for father John a Dyer).  She may have died soon after the 1826 marriage.

The only marriage to a Mary is at Leigh..

30 March 1812 James married Mary Kenyon, three months before Martha was born.

In 1812 and 1814, James and Mary had two children; Matha and John baptised at Tyldesley Top-Chapel (non-conformist).
