Aged 16 in Apr 1851, born Tilston
Aged 19 in Oct 1853
Aged 25 in Apr 1861, born Alton

Aged 71 in Jun 1904
Two Richard Breretons were born about 1833-5. The one who married Esther, was the son of George Brereton.
I believe Houghton and Orton are both meant to be Horton. Horton Green is the next village south of Tilston, so most probably Horton is the area surrounding Horton Green. Therefore his birth place was probably on a farm part of Horton Hall, near Horton Green and Tilston, where his father George is recorded in the 1833 Poll Book..
One possible christening record is indexed, which probably is the correct record as it specifies "Tilston by Malpas", but has his father as Richard (not George). There isnt a record for George as the father, so perhaps this is a transcription error (as christened Richard), or simply his record isnt indexed.
RICHARD BRERETON
Event(s):
Christening: 08 MAR 1835 Tilston By Malpas, Cheshire, England
Parents:
Father: RICHARD
Mother: JANE BRERETON
Baptism at Tilston, Abode Horton.
I did have his birth as 28-Sep-1833, but nothing to support this and census and death ages are of little help. However, he was a year older than Esther on the marriage certificate and 1961 census record.
He died from a stroke, Cerebral Apoplexy, at the age of 70 on June 8th, 1904 in
Birkenhead. His burial was on June 13th, 1904 at the
Flaybrick Memorial Gardens.

- Death Notes
- In his later years, Richard probably suffered from dementure. He would bring home rubbish and occasionally threaten his wife Esther, who must have been terrified, athough from newspaper clips we know Esther was a tough old girl !
