Name: George Brereton
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 8 Mar 1861
Baptism Place: Holy Trinity, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England
Father: Richard Brereton
Mother: Esther Brereton
FHL Film Number: 2104037
Death Notes
George alive in 1911, and must have still been alive when his mother Esther wrote her will in 1917, leaving him one quater of the residual estate. He died before 1843, as Mary was described as a widow on her probate.
Two good matches, but nothing for Newton in Makerfield (Warrington area), where he was in 1911. His wife Mary died in Malpas, Cheshire, which is where she was born, so may have returned to family after George's death. Since we know of no second name for George, then George A is probably the wrong one.

General Notes
There is no birth registered (i.e. indexed) for Richard or George in Birkenhead or elsewhere.
George was called “Teapot George” in the family because of the enormous teapot he was given (and which was used to serve teas) on his 21st birthday. The Teapot was handed down to Dorothy Ann Brereton, who now has it in her dining room.
In 1871, George was living in Birkenhead with family (aged 10).
In 1881, George (aged 20) was visiting Mary Ann Griffiths (his brother Richard's sister-in-law) at the Nags Head Inn, Dutton Cacca, Denbighshire. His occupation was Cook on Sea. In 1887 he was registered as 2nd Cook (under the chief cook) on the Liguria, sailing from Tilbury.
In 1885, George "ship's cook" married Mary Batho.
Recorded living at Newton in Makerfield, Lancashire in 1891 and 1901 census (no children).
There was a George Brereton from Birkenhead, aged 30 living in Warrington in 1911 with Mary Hannah Scragg and family, including a Joseph Brereton Scragg, aged 14. This Mary Hanah Brereton married William George Scragg in 1898, so this is another George Brereton, probably Mary Hanah's brother.
George and Mary are at 78 Haydock St, Newton-in-Makerfield in 1911 (see family picture). NEWTON-IN-MACKERFIELD is a town, parish and sub-district of Warrington, Lancashire.
