Research notes for Nicholas Browne II, Gent.


A Nicolas Browne, son of Nicolas, was buried 1 Feb 1638 in North Elmham, Norfolk, England. 855
Notes for Fayth (Spouse 1)
Fayth (or Faith) is named in the 1610 Will of her father-in-law, Nicholas Browne.

Her maiden name on the church marriage record and the Bishop's transcription roll is difficult to read and has been transcribed as Colby, Cobb and Orbe. Cobb seems most likely.
Notes for Nicholas & Fayth (Family)
Nicholas and his brother William apparently had a dual marriage ceremony.
