i presume youve seen the british army pension records with a edward charles browne but b. abt 1877 which isnt exactly right.

if this is he then it states he comes from st. michaels district coventry.

in 1881 census there is a edward charles "brown" b. abt 1876
living in st. michaels district of coventry but his fathers name is down as
sim brown aged 37 mother ann e. brown 37 and emily 8 and alice 2.

could this be your family?

Thanks for the inut on Edward Charles Browne. Coventry sounds right. Son's marriege certificate gives fathers name as Thomas Henry 'Sim' possible nickname?

Could the nickname be "Sam" as in the Sam Browne belt?
