THE MOXON BROWNES -
An Account of Octavius Browne, and his Family and Descendants -
tells the story of the author's own ancestors over the last 250 years. From the eighteenth century drawing master and calligrapher; his son who deserted his family to start a new life as an artist in America and the exploits of his grandson Octavius and his family. Explorers and pioneers in Australia and New Zealand; entrepreneurs; soldiers, sailors and churchmen all played their part in the rise and decline of the British Empire and two World Wars.
This book forms a companion volume to "Moxons and Brownes - An Account of Charles St Denys Moxon and his family" by the same author.
Bob Moxon Browne is a leading lawyer in Great Britain but in his spare time he has been fascinated by family history and has researched his forebears in depth.
