We received this note from Keith Lawrence [lawrenkei@aol.com]
Subject: Request from the Sealed Knot
My name is Dr Keith Lawrence, Chair of the English Civil War Centre at Nantwich Museum in Cheshire, England. The Sealed Knot has chosen to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its foundation with a tree planting in Nantwich. This is then a twin celebration as the 'Holly Holy Day' muster is the oldest in their calendar. As Sir William Brereton of Handforth was one of the Parliamentary Commanders at the Battle of Nantwich the Sealed Knot would appreciate a contact name to discuss the possibility of one of his descendants attending the ceremony. While appreciating the direct male line had died out in 1673/74 with the death of his son, Sir Thomas, we were hoping the may be some direct descendants through the female line. The event would be in April 2018 and I would appreciate if you could provide a name for the local organiser from the Sealed Knot to contact.
Kind Regards
Dr Keith Lawrence
Please contact Keith if there is a direct descendant that could attend the event in April, 2018. Maybe even just a "Brereton" would be sufficent.
