Too many Helen Browns, and no Helen G Browns, to identify her death on FreeBMD.

In 1841 she was living with her brother William and his young family, together with her younger sister Amelia; her age was given as 45, though she was 49, but this was in accord with the census instructions of the time.

In 1951 she and her sister Amelia, both unmarried, were with their married cousin, Henrietta Chester, in a lodging house in Dawlish, Devon.
