I decided to take a look at the ancestry of George Brown[e], who married Christian Hibbert. Parents are given on several websites/family group pages posted on the web.
The couple is George Browne and Jone Threeder. Their births are given around 1566 and 1567 with some consistency. The big stumbling block is the place of birth: Chestnutt, Hartford, England. Neither place exists in that context! There is a village of Hartford, but not a county. There is a locale in suburban London named Cheshunt in Hertfordshire.
Is that the place meant by whoever first recorded Chestnutt? Was the researcher just careless in recording the place?
The christening of a George Browne, son of George Browne and Jone took place 19 May 1592 at Easton Royal, Wiltshire.
A George Browne, b. 12 Apr 1566 in Hartford, Cheshire. A marriage date of 22 Jan 1589 to Jone Threeder in that place is recorded.
I also checked Ancestry.com and met with more frustration. Very little documentation was associated with the Browne trees.
More work to be done!
