Who was the Rev. Henry Handley BROWN?
He was a member of the Sawmilling family, Henry Brown & Co, Inglewood, Taranaki... well at least that's what Wiki says

Edit to Add http://www.thecommunityarchive.org.nz/node/72855/description Rev's dates 1813-1893
Brown was ordained by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1837 and came to New Zealand in 1859 in the 'Eclipse'.
He settled at Omata where he became resident clergyman.
The records comprise documents concerning appointments to various churches, 1837-40, with some personal papers and a notice originally pinned to Brown's residence at Omata asking for protection for him and his family at the time of the Battle of Waireka in March 1860
