Aged 12, or 18 (or 8) in 1841
Aged 21 in 1851
Thomas in 1841, but would have been 11 if the 1851 census is correct. There is a Thomas listed on the 1841 census with Richard Mather (head, 60). Thomas (18 or maybe 8) is listed after James (15), so either not a son of Richard or actually age 8.
Thomas was 21, unmarried in 1851, living with "brother" James.
Recorded as Sharples, so probably born Harwood as the other family.

General Notes
Thomas Mather, baptised 1830, was the illegitimate son of Rachel Mather before she married William Rostrom in 1832. In 1833 Rachel and Thomas had William Rostrom, and then her husband died the same year. There was another illegitimate Thomas, son of Anne of Breightmet baptised in 1829.
Rachel's parents, Richard and Hannah adopted both children (Thomas Mather and William Rostron) as their own.
In 1841, Thomas Mather (18) and William Rostron (8) were living with Richard Mather (60) brothers John and James (20 & 15) at Dandy Row, Sharples. Thomas's age was about 12, but the census appears to have altered to 18 (with the 8 in a darker ink)
In 1851, Thomas (21, Unmarried) was living with "brother" James & Susan Mather (both 29) and family at Blackburn Road, Sharples.
Thomas was a cotton spinner like his other male siblings. However, the marriage in Bolton to Mary Ann Beswick 14 July 1850 must be another, as Thomas was with his "brother" James in 1851, unmarried.
August 1856, Thomas died at Sharples, aged 26, and was buried at Astley Bridge.
