Here are some general inquires about Brereton's and other Brereton information. Feel free to respond directly to the person making the inquiry. Send a note back to me, if you have something you'd like to have posted in the way of following concerning the item:

  - A note from Abby Martin about: John Brereton as the cartographer
  - A Brereton with the Maher family in Birr/Parsonstown, Ireland. Click here to see more details.
  - I'm researching my family history and from my Brereton line I have managed to trace back to Edward Brereton who was born in Dublin, Ireland between 1808 and 1811 and died in Liverpool, Lancashire, England on the 7th January 1870. He married Charlotte Brandon (1811, Liverpool - 1867, Liverpool) and had 7 known children Sarah (1837-?), Charlotte (1838-?), Stewart (1838-1877), William (1841-1907), Margaret (1842-?), Edward (1843-?), Harriet (1843-?). His listed occupation on his probate was painter and plumber. Unfortunately I know nothing about his life in Ireland or anything up to the 1841 census, and haven't been able to trace back any further, if any help could be given at all I would greatly appreciate it.
