Representative of: In 1868, Charles was witness to Jane's marriage. 1835 - 1894 Richard Brereton 59 59 Dont confuse with the other Richard Brereton, son of George and Sarah born the same year at Tilston.  This Richard emigrated to Utah, USA in about 1860. 1836 - 1870 William Brereton 33 33 One Willian Brereton emigrated to Australia with George and Thomas (sons of Thomas and Martha Brereton), but doesnt appear to be this William.

According to Kelly's 1910 directory, William Brereton was a Station Master at Rock Ferry Station, but this is another William Brereton (1871-1946), a distant relative.

Robert's wife Jane died in 1878 and he remarried Mary Bragger the following year.

In 1881, Robert (43) is still in Birkenhead, now a Dock Labourer, with wife Margaret (43).  He has a son William B Brereton (14) who could be a step-son.  Also present are R Brereton (13), Margaret (6) and Lizzie (11 months)  1848 - 1883 Jane Brereton 34 34 In 1848 Jane was born at Horton or Cuddington, Cheshire

24 May 1877, Jane Gregory (30, laundress) was imprisoned for two months hard labour at Knutsford House of Correction for stealing two blankets and a looking glass the property of Joseph Davidson at Monks, Coppenhall (age not perfect so may be another Jane). 1839 - 1840 George Brereton 3m 3m 1832 - 1842 Ann Brereton 10 10 28 Oct 1832, Ann, daughter of George and Jane, is the only Brereton to be baptised at Shocklach, St. Edith.

Ann recorded George as born in 1806, so it is possible we have the wrong George, but unlikely as good links with son and family.

Unlike older brothers John and Thomas, William and George did not make a Will. 1838 - 1891 James Brereton 52 52 Is James related to our Breretons.  Well he's in Brikenhead in 1881, and in the pub/hotel trade!  James is probably unrelated, the son of Thomas Brereton and Alice.  He was aged 3 in 1841 and from Kirkdale when married.
