Elizabeth Faulkner/Browning
« on: Sunday 11 June 17 15:14 BST (UK) »
Elizabeth Faulkner
Born 24 Mar 1854
Father:John Faulkner
Mother:Sarah Turner
Spouse:Stephen Browning 1852-1890
Sons: Alfred Richard Browning 1877-1917
Henry john Browning 1883

I found a 1901 census that shows she had a daughter Elizabeth Browning born about 1893. But Stephen passed away in 1890, I can't see that she remarried so I'm a little confused as to why she has the browning as a last name.

Birth record -

Emily Elizabeth Browning
q2 1892, West Ham
Vol 4a Page 78
Mother's maiden name - Faulkner

Not unusual for a widow to have a child and give it her married name to 'save face'.
