  • Notes 
    • Records have hime as a yoeman in the Swan Districts, Chittering. A poultry farmer at Greenough during 1867-1885. And a labourer. Between the years1865-1869 he employed 8 ticket of leave men, including a builder in 1865, a well sinker in 1866 & a fencer in1869.

      Coat of Arms
      First, some basic info: coats of arms do not belong to surnames, they belong to individuals and families (i.e. actual relatives). There are more than one "Browning" coats of arms, each belonging to a different family named Browning. There are also undoubtedly many more Browning families which never have used arms at all. While its interesting to look up arms associated with folks of the same surname, you can't claim one or the other of the historically documented Browning coats of arms as "yours" any more than you can claim to be related to some historical Browning, unless & until you've done the genealogical research to prove (or more likely disprove) the relationship.
      Having said that, the most frequently seen Browning coat of arms is that of Browning of Coaley (sp?) which at various times was recorded as "Argent three bars wavy Azure" (Silver or white shield with three wavy horizontal stripes) or "Barry wavy of six Argent and Azure" (divided into six wavy horizontal stripes alternately Silver or White, and Blue). There is a family of Brownings which settled in Connecticut in the 1600's IIRC which claimed to be descended from the Brownings of Coaley, and therefore used these arms; can't say whether the claimed descent was valid or not. The earliest Brownings to settle in Virginia never have, AFAIK, claimed descent from B. of Coaley; the oldest line of Virginia Brownings have been attributed a different coat of arms, but I've never been able to trace where they came from. Possibly they are valid, possibly just made-up.
