Browne
While the name Browne does not appear in the records of
Galway city until the year 1539 when Andrew Brown of
Athenry was admitted as a freeman, the family was soon
to reach an eminent position among the merchants. Andrew
became a bailiff of the city in 1552 and in 1574 was
elected Mayor. Thereafter a number of members of the
family were to attain that office, perhaps the most
notable being Sir Dominick Browne in 1634 who was
knighted by the Lord Deputy, Thomas Wentworth. His
eldest son, Geoffrey Browne was a member of the Supreme
Council of the Confederation of Kilkenny. In 1651 he was
sent by the Marquis of Clanricarde to negotiate at
Brussels a treaty with the Duc de Lorraine in order to
raise money for the Royalist army. The city of Galway
was to be the security.
The Galway family of this name is descended from a
Norman, de Brun, who came to Ireland with the early
Normans. He is reputed to have been Philip Browne from
whom are descended branches of the family in Munster and
Connacht. They are distinct from the descendants of John
Browne of the Neale, County Mayo, an Elizabethan
settler, and from the Browns of Killarney, County Kerry.
By the mid-seventeenth century, the Browne family owned
a number of very substantial houses in Galway city.
The family most directly descended from the
seventeenth century Sir Dominick Browne includes Lord
Oranmore and Browne whose seat was at Castlemagarret
near Claremorris, County Mayo. There are many
representatives of the family still in Galway. It may be
noted that the Argentinian Admiral William Browne, who
died in 1857, may not have belonged to any of these
families. He may have been an O'Breen of Mayo and his
name could have been corrupted to Browne.
