Hi Alan,
I've checked through the 1851 census for East Malling, but can find no trace of William there. Do you have any details of the births of subsequent siblings that might indicate another parish? Or maybe a later census or marriage entry that might provide a clue to their whereabouts.
There were quite a few Browning families on the 1841 and 1851 censuses, including another William Browning with father William, born a few years before yours. It seems to be a popular name.
xx Carol.

Hi Carol,

Thanks very much for that.They are the family.
I have his birth cert with his parents as William and Ann.
Shame about the 1851 but what you have found is brilliant.

Thanks again
Regards
Alan
