Children
Birth Notes
Aged 40 in 1881, Born Hart Hill
Samuel was 3 months old in 1 April 1841, so born about Dec 1840 (or early Jan 1941). There are no Cheshire birth records that match. The closest UK (1840-41) match is Samuel Brereton born Q2/1841, Stoke-on-Trent, but that birth is still too late.
Samuel must have been illegitimate (or adopted) and recorded under his mother's name.
