  He died before 1841 in Salford.
  - Death Notes
    - Died before 1841, and wife Elizabeth shown as Widow (and then crossed out as not an occupation).
      
      Elizabeth was with her son-in-law in Salford, so probably John died in Salford (unconfirmed)
  Betty Sutcliff
  Betty was born in 1763 in Bolton.⁴
  - Birth Notes
    - Aged 75 in 1841
      Aged 92 when died in 1855
  She died at the age of 92 in 1855 in Salford. Her burial was on October 7th, 1841 at St. Peter's (Bolton).³
  - Death Notes
    - The 27 Oct 1841 burial may be wrong record for two reasons: Betty was a widow, so not "Wife of John Mather", and the age at death should be about 75, not 64. However, there is no other death record that matchyes a Betty of Elizabeth aged 75 in 1841.
      
      There are other John and Betty marriages 1790-1810 in Wigan (Betty Baxter & Houghton), Blackburn (Betty Walmsley), Bury (Betty Bentley), Leigh (Betty Ingham), Walmersley (Betty Bentley) that could be this death.
      
      Burial: 27 Oct 1841 St Peter, Bolton, Lancs.

    This record was inserted between other entries. Perhaps an oversight, or possibly indicated that they were not known to the chapel, or not married (text does say "John son of John and Betty Mather", or baptised later and inserted here.
    
    10 Years later, another John born 5 Oct is recorded as baptised with the same date of birth (i.e. 5 Oct 1798), but no baptism date. Is this the same son, baptised aged 10? Quite possibly as he was born before the parents married.
  He died as an infant at the age of 8 in June 1797 in Bolton. His burial was on June 19th, 1797 at St. Peter's (Bolton).⁵¹

    Text is: "John Mather of G.B." with no indication of age or parents, so may be the worng person, but just the right year to have their next son baptised John (Thomas was baptised in 1796). No ages were recorded in the 1700s.
