For U.K. residents: Do you know of any Bruortons in your area?

This link:

will show you a map of how any surname was distributed in Great Britain in 1998 and in 1881.

Spellings of all surnames change constantly because most people were illiterate until the late 1800s.

The surname probably comes from the village of Brereton [use any spelling you like!] in Cheshire.

In 1881 the name Brereton is still pretty specific to the counties of Cheshire and Staffordshire, and especially to Crewe.

Crewe was a major railway junction in the nineteenth century, and many railway workers migrated to and from there as a result.
