- From Jason Lee Edwards (https://brownlowfamilyorigins.com/richard-brownlow/)
Richard Brownlow was born about 1542 to John Brownlow and Anne Roper in Nottingham. He married Helen Roper 15 June 1567 in St. Lawrence’s, Heanor, Derbyshire.1 He died in Nottingham prior to 14 May 1584 when administration of his estate was granted.2
That is wife survived him is proved by an entry in the list of parishioners of St. Mary’s, Nottingham, from 1583, that list “Rycharde Brounlawe” as a resident of Pilcher Gate but has been altered by later hand to read “Wydoe.”3 She died, probably in Nottingham, before 4 December 1601, when her daughter Anne was described as “Daughter of Richarde Brownelowe whilst he lived of Nottingham in the County of Nottingham deceased the mother beinge deade allso.”4
