She was adopted by William Brereton & Maria Clarke. She died at the age of 65 on October 6th, 1946 in New South Wales.²

General Notes
- Katrina Wallwood's (Ancestry id=trinasw) great grandmother was Alice Maude Mary Brereton.
  
  23 Nov 1903, Alice Maud Mary Brereton (22) married James Alexander Marion at the Salvation Army Barracks, Daylesford. Alice was from Pascoe Vale (West Coburg), born at Kynton.
  
  Her father's Will shows that "Alice Maud Mary Marion" was the adopted daughter of William Brereton. However, DNA evidence suggests that Alice is a blood relative of her adoption father William, probably his son Harry. She is probably Williams illegitimate daughter, or else a niece. Why else would he adopt a child as a single man!
  
  Between 1904 and 1901, Alice had four children; Grace, Muriel, Flor and Herbert

Social & Emotional Relationships
- Alice was a relative of George Brereton.
  - Relationship Notes
    - Although Alice was adopted, her son's DNA has matched with a member of the Brereton family descended from George Brereton, William Brereton's brother. Therefore, William adopted a family member, probably a daughter of Harry, son of George, or he was hiding the fact that he had an illegitimate daughter & Alice was actually William's daughter (and also probably Maria's)!!
