    Record (copy of the register for Nantwich for 1711) reads:
    Hon'bl : M's : Frances Brereton Spinster 16 February.
    
    Burials are listed June, July, Agg thru Dec, and then Jan and Feb, so the year may be 1712 (not 1711).  Her will is dated 4 June 1711 (first paragraph), so clearly cant be buried before then.
