Brereton' of Haslington Family History Book

I have recently started to research about the Brereton Family of Haslington, Wybunbury, Rhyl, Swansea, Rugby, Queensland Australia and Canada.  That is as far as this one family got.

The family at this time start with Thomas Brereton who married Ellen Whitmore in 1814.  If you are related to this couple please contact me.  The book will take some time in writing and researching.  I would love to add as many family photographs as well as certificates and family stories, happy or sad.  All things will be acknowledged in the book.

So far I have started with the Brereton name and whence it is supposed to have come, though various authors have different ideas, so all I find will go into the book and you will be able to make up your own mind.  However all the Brereton's the world over are related to the Brereton's of Cheshire who where here from 1066.  The Brereton Hall we see today was built in Queen Elizabeth's time.

I will add a few photos as my research progresses.  At present I would like to thank Clare & Micky and Kim for their assistance.  Also Alison, Elizabeth and Tina who have helped update the descendant report.
