To all the people who helped me with this post,

I just wanted to let you all know that I found the obituary that talked about the twin Marryatt Browne and it is Thomas Marryatt Browne that you girls ( and guys) found for me so a huge thank you. We have now completed that part of the puzzle. There was a twin and he lived to be an adult ( and actually outlived his twin).

Thanks so much for all your help.

Now if I could only find out how the family got from Tasmania to Queensland I would be extremely happy.

Cheers
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

              so glad that you have found the twin to Frederick. I will still go and check the Baptisms for Oatlands just to see if they did name him when he was baptised. Have been rather busy as my two dogs both done a runner twice in two weeks and it took four and five days twice to find them. Dogs are worst than kids at times.

Thanks Johngirl - that would be great if you could. Would love to get there myself but think it will be a while away.

Hope your dogs are behaving themselves for you and you haven't had to do any more chasing.

Cheers
Michelle

Thats okay Michelle,

                              will be going to the Archives soon. My dogs have been behaving themselves also.No more having to go searching for miles for them.

To Chell,

I am related to this family and can give you a lot of details re Thomas Browne's (the soldier) family. Just to whet your appetite, Thomas' father was Joseph Steere Browne (DACG) b.~1791. Joseph was in Tasmania in the late 1820s; was in Albany, Western Australia in 1830s; left Albany in 1836 on the 'Harvest' for the Cape; and ended up in Canada where he died in Toronto on 24 Dec 1848. Thomas was one of 10 children (that I know of). Thomas was the eldest son and 2nd child. One of his brothers was Joseph Browne (my GGG grandfather) who ended up in Sydney and married into the dynastic Tooth family.

cheers,
Herb

Hi Herb,

Welcome to the family. I would love to exchange any information with you about the Browne family but as you can see I have been at a bit of a loss about anything going back from Thomas. You have definitely whet my appetite. I have just found out that Thomas actually died in USA not Canada as was stated on a newspaper clipping I found. Maybe they were confused with his dad Joseph? Anyway would love to swap stories so I will try and work out how to PM you.

Best Regards
Michelle

Hi Herb,
I'm also interested in the Browne family. I would love to know your source for Joseph Steere Browne, as Thomas Browne is as far up that side of my family tree as I have been able to get.

Thanks,

Hi all those interested in the Browne Family.
My great grandmother was Jane Browne born 18th January 1847 Ref 4339.
Parents were Thomas Browne and Catherine Jemmott.
She married Edward Broadhurst Boothman on 2nd February 1865.
I too have been researching her siblings and found a strange happening.
The twins Thomas Marryatt Browne and Frederick William Browne were born 25th April 1847.
If Jane was born in January 1847 and the twins were born in April of that year, there is something wrong with the date of birth of Jane.
I have seen the headstones of the twins in Queensland so I assume that their date of birth is correct.
Can anyone help?
