This Anthony Browne is of the South Weald, Essex family, and nothing to do
with the Viscounts Montague family

Dear SImon ~

Checking the National Archives catalogue just now, I didn't find the
lawsuit dated 1616, involving Lady Mary Grey, widow of Lord Joihn Grey
and Henry Capell, Esq., which you mentioned was cited in Warrand's
Hertfordshire Families (1907). The existence of the 1616 lawsuit,
however, proves my belief that Lady Grey did not die in 1614, as
stated without evidence in the article on the Capell family in Trans.
Essex Arch. Soc. n.s. 9 (1906): 243–272.

Regardless, I did find another lawsuit dated post-1588 which involves
a certain Anthony Browne, Esquire, and the Capell family. In the
lawsuit, Anthony Browne claimed a manor in Essex "by devise."
Possibly this lawsuit is of interest to you.

C 2/Eliz/B18/59
