In 1841, Solomon Mather was still alive at Old Nells, Little Bolton (not Old Nells, Turton), a hand loom weaver with his daughter Ann (25).
30 Nov 1844 Solomon died. His death was reported in the newspaper on 7 Dec 1844. The death certificate (attached) shows he died of "Fits" at Old Ellen's, Sharples aged 76. Old Ellen's and Old Nell's are probably the same place (Nell is a pet name for Ellen).
