How did you find this bapts and amrriage on the pilot site so quickly. It usually takes me ages to scroll through all the pages???

I didn't find them on the Bishops Transcripts, though I have looked at them there since.

I originally found them using the simple and advanced search facility here http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

I defer to your expertise Jen

Ahaaa William was left an awful lot of money in 1836, so he may well have been a humble bricklayer beforehand  Pity his wife didn't get to see it, she might have lived longer

Or possibly in 1836 - Burial at St John's Church, Newcastle on Tyne
Margaret Mather, Blackett Street, 21st December, aged 45

Maybe his wife was the money

Thanks again Jen 
I've just been working on this lot too. It's driving me mad trying to find the Naters connection to this family. The Naters (my family) were quite well-off and I have a Thomas Naters but he's too far back!

I think William M was more than just a "humble" bricklayer. He
has an entry in the Newcastle and Gateshead Directory..
Mather, William, bricklayer and builder, 10 Stowell St
and was also a member of the Mechanics Institute along with quite a few well known names
It seems he also inherited £300, 000...a fortune not to be sneezed at
