Browne

[mchopper]

Hello, I need some help with tracing Richard Browne. He was born about 1788 maybe in Drumgowan, Donegal, Ireland. His came from a respected, wealthy mercantile family. They were very upset when he decided to serve in the British Army and several times tried to buy him out. The army took him to Canada where he married Emily Wooley and had a family. That is all I know about his life before he came to Canada. Can anyone help?

Why do you think he was born in County Donegal? Your earlier thread just said 'Ireland.' It's a brave distance from Co. Donegal to Tullamore where he enlisted-

In your thread from 2011 it was suggested checking military records. Have you done that?

I was given the place of birthday by someone. I was unable to verify it. I followed all leads and they lead no where. Every few years a revisit his name in hopes of finding something new, but I never seem to be able to find anything. I have a lot of information on him after he came to Canada.
