A Saint Connected to the Brereton Family



A Saint Connected to the Brereton Family by Rosemary Jewers



While reseaching the family I discovered that Ambrose Barlow, the son of Sir Alexander Barlow and Mary Brereton had been made a saint. His mother, Mary Brereton, was the daughter of Sir Urian Brereton. Sir Urian Brereton had many brothers, one brother was Sir William Brereton (executed 1536).
