It has been widely said that Anthony Browne (said to be born in 1552), son of Anthony Browne 1st Viscount Montague, died on 19 June 1592 and was buried on 1 August 1592 at Midhurst, Sussex. See for instancetranscription, but the other two sources seem to me to give confirmation that it was 1591.

The ODNB entry for Anthony 1st Viscount Montague also gives his son Anthony's death year as 1592.
There are three bits of evidence which appear to point to the death year for Anthony b. 1552 being 1591.
1. On FindMyPast is a transcript by the Sussex Family History Society of his burial record, which gives 1 August 1591 as the burial date: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBPRS%2FD%2F142170458%2F1: on its own, the year might be a mis-
2. A deed of settlement of 20 January 1592 entered into by Anthony Viscount Montague for the intended marriage of his grandson and heir apparent Anthony Browne, son and heir to his late son Anthony Browne, indicating that his son Anthony was dead bythen: West Sussex Record Office, ref. SAS-BA/65, http://185.121.204.173/searchonline/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=SAS-BA%2f1%2f8%2f65&pos=3. The year is given as 1592 in the catalogue entry - in case anyone wonders, this will not be 1592/3 because
3. A postscript dated 21 May 1592 to the 23 February 1591/2 will of Elizabeth Lewknor (spelt Lewkener in the will) which makes minor bequests to "Mrs Browne widdow of Mr Anthone Browne late deceased.......Anthonie Brown her sone". We know from a numberof sources that there were close associations between this Browne family and the Lewknors. There is a strong likelihood that the postscript refers to Anthony Browne b. 1552, who had recently died, and his son Anthony Maria Browne, who became 2nd Viscount
I would welcome any observations. Apologies - as always with my typing - for any typos I have missed.
