William Browne

[hbrowne4]

I am interested in William Browne 1831-1908. A skinner in Watling Stret in his early years, he was reputed to be a United Irishman and definitely secretary of the Irish National Foresters Friendly Society in 1900 and before. In his later years he had a fruiterers shop in Ormonde Quay and died there in 1908 aged 77 years.
I am particularly inteested in his siblings and parents.

This could be him on the 1901 census :

 Browse family, Ormond Quay,

If you could locate a cert for the marriage of William and Margaret it would give you their father's names..

William's Father was Henry, also a skinner in Watling Street. His Mother was Maria Sherlock but I dont know where or when they married, presumably before 1831 possibly St James parish in James Street Dublin. How do I get these details

[shanew147]

There are Dublin City parish records online at http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/

more are due to be added later this year

p.s. I see you are in Dublin...  RC records also on microfilm in the National Library

Greetings,

My great great grandfather George Browne was a skinner in Watling Street. I wonder if they were related?

[hbrowne4]

Wow, William had a brother George buried in Glasnevin cemetery born 1831, died 1873. Does this ring any chimes?. Father was Henry and as far as I can ascertain Mother was Maria Sherlock

I have a considerable body of material on the Browne family, particularly cemetery records. If you contact me at (*) I am happy to share them. Attached is the copy of George Brownes Burial record.
