His nephew was the Jesuit priest and noted photographer of the Titanic and First World War Francis Browne SJ, whom, since his parents died when he was quite young, Bishop Browne raised and supported, purchasing his first camera and giving him a present of tickets to travel from Southampton to Queenstown (Cobh).[5]
