Notes for Edward BROWNE

The family tree done by Harriet Thurtell about 1900 and the History of the Thurtell Family done by Susan Persia Thurtell about 1968 show that Edward Browne married Dods Phild (?) and had two children: Mary - married Wylie, and Annie - married Wills.

Information received in 1997 from Peter Murray shows that Edward Browne married Miss Godfrey. An old letter dated August 5, 1864, states: "Edward Browne, I expect, has joined by this time his brother in Africa. He first went to Canada. There he was very unfortunate and I believe was assisted out to Africa where I hope he will be more successful. His wife has a little property of her own upon which I expect they are subsisting" (letter Sarah Murray in England to Alexander & Andrea Murray in California - Sarah was Edward Browne's aunt, and Alexander was his cousin).

In 1853 Edward Browne and his family were visited in Guelph Township, Canada, by his aunt Anne Everitt as descrived in her diary: "...drove me to my nephew Edward Browne's, where I was introduced to my new niece and her sweet pretty lively son: EB was not at home. Mrs B and her son returned with us to tea." She mentions more visits to the Brownes while she was there, but unfortunately no description of Edward Browne.
