Ellen Elizabeth BROWNE ²

  General Notes:

It seemed more than likely that Mary Ann Holman (who married WH Blackmore) and Ellen Elizabeth Browne (who married GF Blackmore) were related. Both were from Norfolk and both in London. Finally traced back Mary Holman to her grandmother Sophia Harvey and found that the two were second cousins through the Harvey name
