Richard McBryde Broun
Richard Broun arrived 1831 per Eliza. He married Ann Elizabeth Leake, George Leake's daughter from his first marriage. Richard Broun may have owned Town Lots 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 in Cliff Street, Fremantle.
Fremantle Library's online document showing early owners of lots has a Richard Brown owning Lots 15-19. At his first appearance, in 1855 he is shown as Broun, R [Brown], and then as Brown, R for 1856-9. For 1876-8 he has become Brown, R.M.B. I am assuming that all of these are Erickson's Richard McBryde Broun.
I do not know for sure if Richard McBryde Broun was related to Peter Broun. It is strongly suggested that he was by the fact that the first name of Peter's eldest son was McBryde, which was also Richard's middle name. And they both seem to have changed the spelling of their surname from Broun to Brown. Also, they were both born in Guernsey.
