General Notes
- George may have been a Blacksmith at Weston, died in 1844 leaving effects under £300, Thomas and James the executors. However, there other George Brereton baptisms from Wybunbury that may be a better match. More likely George was a Cordwainer, and died Aug 1806.
  
  George Bruerton of Liverpool, joiner married Ann Hough of Liverpool 19-Sep-1802 at Liverpool St Paul, which may be him! Bruerton was an alternate spelling for this branch of the family.
