Anthony Browne, son and heir apparent of Anthony Browne, K.G., K.B., 1st Viscount Montague, and his first wife Jane Radcliffe,[1] was born on or before 22 July 1552,[2][3] (the date his mother died "in childbed") at Cowdray, Sussex.[4] He may be the Anthony, son of Anthony, that was baptized 30 July 1553 in Easebourne, Sussex.[5]
Many online trees and sources incorrectly attribute the title "1st Viscount Montagu" to the Anthony of this profile, however that title belonged to Anthony's father (also named Anthony). This Anthony Browne died five months before his father and was not named in his father's will;[6] so he never inherited the title. His son Anthony inherited it on the death of his grandfather and was styled "2nd Viscount Montagu" in 1592.[4]
Anthony married Mary Dormer, daughter of William Dormer,[1] K.B., and his second wife, Dorothy Catesby.[2][4] They had at least two sons and three daughters:
According to Richardson and Cokayne, Anthony Browne died on 29 June 1592 at Riverbank House in Cowdray Park, Easebourne, Sussex,[2] and was buried on 1 August 1592.[4] The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry for his father gives the death year as 1592.[9] However, his burial record gives the burial date as 1 August 1591 at Midhurst, Sussex. He is described in it as the "right worshipfull Sir Anthoney".[10][11]
A death year of 1591 is confirmed by the deed of settlement by Anthony's father of 20 January 1592 (the date given in the West Sussex Record Office catalogue entry) for the intended marriage of his (the father's) grandson and heir apparent Anthony Browne, son and heir to his late son Anthony Browne.[12] (Since Anthony's father died in October 1592, the 20 January 1592 date given in the catalogue entry for the settlement cannot be January 1592/3.)
Anthony's widow remarried first to Sir Edmund Uvedale, who died in 1606. She married third to Sir Thomas Gerard, as his third wife.[2][4] Thomas died in 1621. She had no issue with either of these husbands.[2] Mary died between 20 July 1637 and 23 November 1637. Her will requested her burial near her first husband, Anthony Browne, at Midhurst, Sussex.[2]
In some family trees uploaded to Ancestry and elsewhere, Anthony Browne is named Hackaliah Anthony Browne. There appears to be no evidence for his ever having the name Hackaliah.
Some trees also give his birth/death location as "Beachworth, Sussex", but without sources.
This Anthony has also been described as Sheriff of Surrey and Kent in 1580, but there is no source found for that information.
The prefix Sir was removed from this profile. Although his burial record refers to him as Sir, the January 1592 deed of settlement entered into by his father for the marriage of his son, cited above, describes him as Esq. Douglas Richardson does not say he was a knight. Nor does the Browne pedigree in the Harleian Society edition of the Sussex Visitations.

Also, anyone up for working on the Browne-202#Montague Family Catalog information section?
The two birth locations are equivalent.
I've asked again on G2G (bumped a 2016 post not answered) .If he had an odd baptismal name then obviously it has to be used for the proper name but there is no evidence for this. Richardson calls him Anthony. More importantly, his mother's memorial mentions that he was buried in the same place as her and was called Anthony. http://www.publicsculpturesofsussex.co.uk/object?id=274
Ah just realised that the proper name was changed back to Hackaliah on 15 January 2018 thus causing the problem.
