General Notes
In 1827, Thomas was a Blacksmith when he married.
From census records it appears that Thomas didnt have his own farms. His sons George and Edward worked for his brother William nearby in Broxton.
In 1841, Thomas and Martha are farming at Bronington, with all children present except for John who was helping at his grandparents.
"The Australian Brereton book describes Thomas Brereton as "of Brown Knowl", which is where he is recorded in 1851.
Samuel Hughes.Martha's brother set off for Australia with Thomas's three sons John, George & William Brereton. From there it goes from William & Sarah then to Ernest & Annie and then to Don & Ruby then Don & Val and to Richard's siblings brother Don and sisters Debbie and Shelley who all have children. (Extracted from the www).
Some of this information, believed to originate from a book are incorrect. Thomas and Martha's sons William and John came to Australia in 1852 and their other sons George and Thomas arrived in 1858.
Thomas and Martha, married in Chester in 1827, but the name is miss-spelt, so the record was difficult to find.
Appears to have stayed in the UK after his father had ded, as father William BRERETON was living with them at Woodend farm till 1866, and was still at the farm in 1871, aged 67. He probably never went to Australia.
Thomas left £50 advance each to Edward, Jane and Sarah. Later his estate was to be sold and divided equally to all 10 children after his wife Martha died.

Death Notes
Death: 13 Sep 1913 - Kingston Road, Camperdown, NSW
The picture received from Katrina has William 1832-1913, so I assume he must have died in 1913.
William's will leaves everything to his adopted daughter Maud Brereton. Probate was proved 5 June 1914. The estate was worth £23-5s-8d. Probate records William died at Kingston Road, Camperdown, NSW, formerly of Ples-ant Street, Pascoe Vale, Bourke County, Victoria. Occupation was a Gentleman.
