Are these two related?

Forget the second suggestion, just saw her probable burial.

22 Nov 1782. Newcastle All Saints. Frances, Widow of Robert Mather, Steathman.

Thanks for continuing to look. I'm going off at a tangent slightly as normally I confine myself to one generation in Georgian times (see link below) but this is quite interesting.

I hadn't thought to look for Frances' remarriage as her son's will of 1767 definitely refers to her as Mrs Frances Mather, but I will follow up your reference. Unfortunately, after a long break, work beckons, so time for genealogy reduces.

Added: ah - just seen your other post.

An interesting written account of the Unthanks here. It seems good, although it does have at least one mistake as it claims that Frances Unthank (later mather) died in 1729.
