Death Notes
Name James Mather
Residence Billinge, Lancashire, England
Probate Date 24 Jan 1855
Death Year Abt 1855
The James Mather that died, aged 83, and buried at Turton 18 Mar 1853, is most lilkley the James married to Mary Barber, as he was still alive at Edgworth in 1851, aged 80.
These records must surely be mixed up: The James that died in Billinge, Wigan was 83, not 49. However, GRO confirms these data. James must have died in Bolton, which would explain him missing in 1851.
