Fascinating stuff

Without seeing the original of the article mentioned by ErikaH - this is the only item in the "North Country Notes" concerning Frederick Browne.
The bad transcription runs all the "Notes" together as if they were one item.

It doesn’t appear to be on Deceasedonline.

You can look up the probate record yourself by using the gov.uk site - just Google probate records.

Contact the parks and cemetery dept of the local council giving details from the death certificate

Chances are he was buried or cremated in a council run cemetery or crematorium

Councils keep excellent records
