My grandad was Thomas Richard Mather (b 1890) he married Emma Ann Twigg (b 1890 Parwich). His mother kept the Post Office at Kniveton and was a dressmaker, Esther Mather. His brothers were blacksmiths and wheelwrights. His cottage was next to the Red Lion in James Lane. I have several photos I can share.
