Probate records show a George Brereton of White's Lane, Weston, near Crew died 21 June 1893, leaving £145 to his widow Hannah. This is another person!.

General Notes
George is one of my 8 Great Great Great (4X) Grandfathers. George was born at Burwardsley (Farm), about one mile from Harthill.
When George and Jane were married, thier parents were witness to the marriage. George was of Harthill Parish, and Jane from Shocklach.
In 1848, when daughter Jane was born, George was at Horton.
In 1850 George, Jane Brereton and family are living at Cuddington Mill, where son Thomas was born.
In 1851, George (41, a Miller and Farmer of 48 acres) and Jane (41) are at Wrexham with the family; Richard (16), William (14), Robert (12), John (7), Jane (3) and Thomas (0).
In 1853, when George's son Richard married Esther Eddowes, George was a Publican.
In 1861, George and Jane (52 & 53) were farmers of 20 acres and employed one man.
About 1865, the family moved to Birkenhead, working as a Porter. His wife Jane died in Birkenhead in 1867 and in 1869 George re-married Martha Holt (widow, aged 48). He was 59 but put down 55 on his marriage record
In 1871, George, a porter, and Martha (56 & 48) were living at 8 Neptune Street, Birkenhead. Two of Marthas children (George's step-children) were with them.
In 1891, George was living with son Robert Brereton in Birkenhead.
After Jane died, George married Martha Holt, 12 years his junior. They were in Birkenhead in 1881.
Dont confuse with other George Breretons born about 1809 and 1815 who married Martha Hildich in 1859. Also his uncle Thomas had a son George, born 1811 (i.e. cousin).
Ann recorded George as born in 1806, so it is possible we have the wrong George, but unlikely as good links with son and family.
Unlike older brothers John and Thomas, William and George did not make a Will.
