(still need further evidence that Sir Thomas' father fits in
as I have him)
I was kindly sent some Browne extracts from _English Parish Records:
Lancashire (Salford & West Derby Hundreds), Cheshire, Flintshire compiled from
Ancestry.com_, which confirmed that I had the correct place for the above Sir
Thomas's father and contained some additional information of the Brownes of Upton
family. I have also now received an article from _Cheshire History_ No 39
1999-2000 published by Cheshire Local History Association called _The Browne
Family at Upton by Chester_, but unfortunately I find errors in this article
(eg younger brother being born at least 20 years before his elder brother),
and have not used its information.
I have some details of the Browne from nearby Netherleigh and a claim they
were descended from the Brownes of Upton, but I do not know how they were
connected, and have excluded them.
I am a little surprised that the genius of Sir Thomas Browne is not more
evident in the genes of his ancestors.
So here is the enlarged pedigree:

White of Shotton
