    According to the chapel records, William was buried at Brown Knowl Chapel in 1884, aged 78.  The grave is 5 rows down from the chapel and some 3 graves in from the end of the row.  There is probably no headstone (TBC).  His widow Mary is buried in the same plot.  John Brereton (aged 4) is also buried in the same plot.
    
    Another William Brereton, Yeoman, of Preston on the Hill died the same year (1884) and left a will leving his estate (part) to his wife Jane.  This must be another person!.  No will.
    
    
    
    
    

• General Notes

    In 1861, William Brereton (53) and Mary (50) were at Fullers Moor (9 acres), with son Roger (16) and niece Emma Clarke (17).  In 1863 they were still there.  The niece must be on Mary's side of the family.
    
    In 1881, William and Mary Brereton (74 & 70) were at Dutton Cacca with their son Roger (36, unmarried).  William was a retired farmer and local Methodist preacher.
