I am a newbie intersted in Capability Brown as we think my family are direct descendants.  My mother, who refused to talk about family matters, has just died and among her hidden things we found a partial tree written by my grandmother, Mary (Madge) Brown of Winterton, LIncs.  She had the following:
Lancelot Brown1715-1783
Thomas Brown died 1820 (I have him born 1861 from a book on Capability Brown.) She had him down as Rector of Fenstanton, Nothamptonshire for 40 years.  His son, Thomas Brown, 1857-1925 married Annie Maria Barley in 1879 (registered at Glanford Brigg) and had 13 children (two deceased in early childhood): my grandmother was the ninth live birth: Mary Elizabeth born 11/6/1892.

Does this fit with anyone else's records?  We would love to hear.
