(2 years out on age ... so this is another Samuel Mather)
The Death certificate of 1-May-1854 confirms this is the correct date. Samuel died at 4 Simpson St. of Apoplexy Certified. The Death was registered by Harry (i.e Happy, his daughter) Shuttleworth in Attendance, Rose Hill, Great Bolton.
Note: Apoplexy is an old-fashioned medical term, which can be used to mean a neurological impairment, haemorrhage or stroke.
Samuel died before the two Bolton cemeteries (Tonge and Heaton).opened so he must be buried in a churchyard, possibly the Parish church of St Peter’s. However, it seems odd that a space was not left for Alice, who was buried with her son George.
