I have no other information on this family at this time.  The lists are based on the research of others.  The Browning family members were residents in the Gloucestershire region before 1335 and had been major businessmen, land owners, sheriffs, members of parliament and hosts to various noblemen over the years.  The name may be spelled as Bruning, Brunyn, Brounyng as well as Browning.

The building of the Gloucester Cathedral overlaps with this family.  The foundation was laid in 1089 by Abbot Serlo with the fan vaulting in the cloisters invented here in 1350.  King Edward II is buried here in the abbey in about 1242 which turned it into a pilgrimage site.
