History
Sir Thomas Gore Browne (1807-1887), colonial governor and soldier, was born on 3 July 1807 at Aylesbury, England, son of Robert Browne of Morton House, Buckinghamshire, and his wife Sarah Dorothea, née Steward. His brother, Edward Harold, became bishop of Winchester and Ely. On 10 December 1861 Browne was appointed governor of Tasmania. His predecessors had represented the 'old order'; as the first governor appointed after the colony had achieved responsible government he was warmly welcomed in Hobart with a carnival which lasted a week. for more information see: http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/browne-sir-thomas-gore-3086
