General Notes
- John is probably the son of Isaac or Solomon, both of Turton. There is a 6 year gap where Isaac and Alice probably had children (and baptism records are missing)
  
  John Mather born about 1795 died at Edgworth and buried 11 May, 1817 at St. Ann's, aged 22. This may be a missing family member.
  
  2 March 1817, John Mather, labourer, married Mary McQuire at St. Peter's Bolton. Their witness was James Bromiley. Marriage or Mary's cooking! didn't agree with John. He was married in March and died in May!
  
  Did John and Mary have a son? John Mather, son of John and Mary Mather of Bradshaw died Nov 1825, aged 8 so could be his son, although no reference to John deceased or Mary's new married name. Son John's baptism does confirm John was a labourer.

Occupation Details
- From 1817 John's occupation was Labourer in Bolton.
