General Notes
William Brereton, 1st Baron Brereton of Leighlin
William Brereton of Handforth was the son of Sir William Brereton, MP and Jane Warburton.
In 1624, William was created a peer in the Peerage of Ireland in as Baron Brereton.
There was a split in the Brereton family during the Civil War of 1642-1644. Once branch of the family were royalists of either Catholic or Anglican faith. Another younger branch living in Chester were Parliamentarians (or Roundheads, Puritans of Cromwellians) by inclination. This division led to the situation where Sir William Brereton of Malpas, Commander-in Chief of Crowell's Puritans invaded Brereton Hall, captured the family and held them for ransom. This conflict eventually led to the breakdown of the baronetcy.
William and Margaret were married in a religious ceremony on September 29th, 1563 in Frodsham.3
