• 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.
  
  
He died at the age of 44 on April 30th, 1885 in Northwich.²
