"The earlier Browne pedigrees in some of the heralds’ visitations, namely those of 1568 and 1574,[1] each begin with the man who sits at the head of the lineage below, stating nothing of his ancestry; likewise the later one of 1613 and one of those in that of 1619-21.[2] The chronologically impossible statement in another Browne pedigree given in the last of these visitations, p. 218, that he was a son of “Sir Thomas Browne, Knight, Master of the List in the reign of K. E[dward] IV,” by “Mary, daughter of ____ Metcalfe, of Nappa, in com. Yorkshire,” was perhaps concocted in the seventeenth century to suggest an affiliation with the by-then much more prestigious family of Browne, Viscounts Montague.[3] Yeatman is however inclined to accept the statement in a pedigree of the Brownes of Walcot, Northamptonshire, in the Visitation of Rutland (which we have not seen), that he came from “Werke” (i.e. Wark on Tweed, co. Northumberland), and was a son of John Browne, of “Okeham” (i.e. Oakham, Rutland).[4]"
"The Browne pedigree in Berry, County genealogies: Pedigrees of the families of the County of Kent (1830), 377, is a very weak effort. It confuses Anne Belwood, wife of Sir John Browne, with her daughter-in-law Alice Keble, stating that Anne Belwood married secondly Lord Mountjoy when it was really Alice Keble who did so. It also misses William Browne’s daughter Julian (no. 3 below)."
"The best account of this family in print still seems to be the brief article by James Roberts Brown published in Notes and Queries in 1888.[5]"
