Re: Sir Thomas Browne was Pronunciation Of _William

Thanks Matthew,

Most of my information comes from the _old_ DNB, I must check the new
version. Apart from what has been said, I have nothing further of note on his
ancestors. A little more on him and his descendants:

THOMAS (19 Oct 1605 Cheapside, London-16 Oct 1682 bur St Peter's Mancroft,
Norwich) Sir MD; of Halifax then Norwich, Ed. Winchester College & Broadgate
Hall (now Pembroke College), Oxford; well travelled; theologian and author of
diverse works; friend of JOHN EVELYN (the diarist, whose wife was a Browne
but no obvious connection); knighted 1671; m 1641 Dorothy 4d of EDWARD MILEHAM
of Burlingham St. Peter.
He left:
1. EDWARD (1644 Norwich-28 Aug T 1708 bur Northfleet, Kent) - Sir MD ed.
Norwich grammar & Trinity College, Cambridge; Of Salisbury Court, Fleet N
Street; well travelled; Fellow, treasurer (1694-1704) and President (1704-08) of

Dear Adrian,

Thanks very much for this summary- I hope you'll keep us posted if you
can extend his ancestry. A lot of younger sons of country families did
a Dick Whittington and went to London, so it seems the elder Thomas was
perhaps another one of these.

Yes, all I have for him (mostly from the new DNB) is that he was son of
Thomas Browne (d.1613), liveryman of the Mercer's Company of London, by
Anna, daughter of Paul Garraway; while his wife was Dorothy
(1621-1685), daughter of Edward Mileham of Burlingham St. Peter,
Norfolk, by Dorothy, dau. of John Hobart of Salle. I'd be vicariously
interested if anyone can add to this. He has many descendants- at
least through his daughter Anne (sometimes called Frances, apparently
confused with her daughter), who married Henry Fairfax of Hurst, and
whose daughter and heiress married the 9th earl of Buchan.
