• General Notes

  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.
