Subject: BRERETON

Hello, I just found a web page with your contact information regarding linking the Breretons of Va back to England. I am interested in William Brereton of Va who relocated into Maryland in 1675. He transported Adrian Gardey into Maryland at this time as an indentured servant. I am trying to trace info on Adrian, whom I think my surname "Gordy/Gorday" may derive. I know that that Adrian Gardee was indentured to Brereton in 1675 in Westmoreland Co, Va and that a Pet. Gardee was indentured at the same time to a someone by the last name of Smith (as I recall, Smith also relocated to Md). Would you have run across any info on Gardee/Garde/Gardey in your Brereton research? I realize you are not related to the Brereton line, but I thought that I would give it a shot:-)

Thanks,
Louise Gorday MacIntosh

Hi Bruce.

Thank you for your reply to my email about my Brereton research. Here are the few details I have on my grandmother's Brereton family. Your welcome to include it on your site. It may find a family connection in the UK or Australia.

I'm trying to locate the marriage details of Thomas BRERETON and Martha HUGHES in Cheshire, England. I have located four of their children but there may be more.

1. George BRERETON bapt.1828 Cheshire. Married Sarah James LEA in Cheshire in 1857. They came out to Australia.

2. Mary BRERETON bapt.1830 Cheshire. Married Samuel HUGHES in Cheshire in 1852. They came out to Australia.

3. Thomas BRERETON bapt.1834 Cheshire. Married Ann BRERETON in Cheshire in 1857. They came out to Australia.

4. Edward BRERETON bapt.1836 Cheshire. Married Frances HOPLEY in Cheshire in 1862. I have not come across Edward in the Australian records to date.

If anyone can assist me with further information on the family it would be appreciated.

Regards to all,
Roy Tonkin. Australia.

Hi Bruce.

Wondering if you have any info on a Thomas Brereton and Martha Hughes who were married in Cheshire, England in the 1820s. My grandmather was a Brereton and I'm doing some research on her family lines in England.

If you have any info it would be great.

Many thanks,

Subject: Concerning the Breretons

ome five years ago I obtained the Edge Family History of Notes that had been researched by Sir John Edge and given to the Stafford Archives.  The research was never edited, is in the smallest hand writing one can imagine with parts faded, many blanks I have been unable to fill in and so forth.  I have been checking on his references and every one is well documented.
 
I have Parnell Brereton daughter of Andrew Brereton married to my Christopher del Egge (Edge) of Horton Hall, Staffordshire. Sir John was not one to supple dates of births and marriages so I am on that probably status.
 
Sir Andrew born about 1438  married to (unable to find first wife) second wife Agnes Leigh whom I presume to be the daughter of Parnell.  My Christopher married Parnell about 1515 In the Parish of Horton.  Three children were William , Christopher and Richard.
 
Christopher was the son of William who married Dowse Savage the daughter of Sir John Savage. The marriage settlement was 1470.
 
If you can shed any further information on above dates it would be much appreciated.

My gt gt grandfather Samuel Brereton was born at Bridgemere, Cheshire, England in 1814. His birth was registered at Nantwich, Cheshire on the 27 May 1814 when his abode was given as Wybunbury, Cheshire. His parents names were shown as James and Ann. Samuel married Sarah Carnel (Carnall) at Stoke upon Trent, Staffordshire, England on the 20 March 1837.

I am having great difficulty tracing my ancestry further back as I am not able to confirm the birth date of the above James (the maiden name of his wife Ann was Smith) nor can I trace the names of the parents of James. With the wide knowledge you have of Breretons are you able to help please. If not, can you post this message on your website.

Many thanks. Ken Brereton

Hello there!
 
I am trying to get further back in my family tree. I have discovered that one of my ancestors was Andrew Brereton who died 05/24/1649 He was married to Martha Bannister who was born 11/14/1578 in St  John parish, Chester. I think they were fairly wealthy.
 
I guess what I am trying to do is tie them to any older Breretons in that area. I can't do that at the moment with the information that I have and I wondered whether you might have any information that would fill the gaps.
 
with many thanks for your time
Helen Clark

Hi Bruce, I know my relative (my cousin's son) Aiden Goodall has been in touch with you re Brueton ancestry. I thought I would drop you a line as I seem to be the "keeper of the books" having been digging around for 30 years or so. I have traced documented history of our line back to 1700 plus a lot of earlier stuff I cannot directly link to (yet). I have basically been thro' much of the English Midlands records and am happy to share / help link people into the family tree. Regards, Chris Brueton.

Hi Bruce, Yes that would be great how current are you interested in?

My mother in law just past away in her 95th year, she was the last of her siblings. I started to compile information so I could give the family a DVD of their immediate descendants. My generation ranges from 1934 to 1956 with the eldest being a great grandparent.

Subject: Thomas Henry Brereton b.1845

Dear Bruce,

Hope you don't mind me writing to you directly.

I came across your email below whilst researching my family tree.

I descend from Thomas Henry Brereton born 1845 also of St Pancras. To date I have been unable to find any details of his parents and was intrigued to find the William Thomas Brereton referred to in your email below. I am suspecting he is the elder brother of Thomas Henry. I have for a while felt that Thomas Henry's father might be called William Henry with a birth date of around 1815 - 20. To me it would not seem unusual in the day for the first born son to be named after the father.

I wondered whether you had information on the father of the William Henry you refer to or any brothers that he may have had.

So far my line is:

Thomas Henry (St Pancras 1845)

George Henry (Camden Town 1871)

George Thomas (Brentford 1898)

Eric George (Brentford 1936)

Clifford John - me (Chiswick 1961)

Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give and congratulations on the excellent resource you have produced in to our family name.

I did a search and only came up with a match for a William Thomas Brereton.
If you would like, I could put your e-mail out on our www.brereton.org website. Then, other Breretons could contact you, if they see a match.
Here's what I found, but it doesn't look like the dates match well. He is not old enough:
WILLIAM THOMAS BRERETON
Event(s): Birth: 27 JUL 1837
Christening: 03 SEP 1837 Old Church, Saint Pancras, London, England
