William Brome, of Halton

Surname has also been reported to be Browne.

2nd son (which implies that his date of birth, his brother's date of birth, or both are incorrect)

From Stirnet's "Brome2" page (membership required to view without interruption): "Visitation does not follow this line. We presume that this was the William who is mentioned in a note in Visitation (Oxfordshire, 1566+1574, Brome of Holton) as bur 17.12.1461 but does not specifically identify a connection between him and later generations. That record, together with Visitation (Oxfordshire, 1566+1574, Brome of Clifton), provides the following <descendancy>. The latter record starts with the following Christopher who, having regard to the dates, we presume to have been William's son <William who was buried December 17, 1461>. Not mentioned by the Visitations was ... <Agnes Baldington, wife of this William>"
