Sir William Browne of Flushing marries a Huguenot

A while back, I posted the following information --

_Calendar of State Papers, Foreign Series, of the Reign of Elizabeth_,
vol. 21, part 4, (January-June 1588), p. 37:

[Jan. 28, 1588.] WILLIAM BROWNE to his master, SIR FRAS. WALSINGHAM.

Asks approval for his marriage in those parts, to a Frenchwoman of
small substance, and no great lineage, being forced to it by
constraint of commanding accidents.---Flushing, 28 January, 1588.

As I posted a couple years ago, his wife was related to people named
"de Blocq" and "de Calvaert."

Nigel Goose's _Immigrants in Tudor and Early Stewart England_ states
she was a Huguenot.

Is this the only possibility for a Frenchwoman? I suppose so, as she
probably would not have been Catholic. Or were the Walloons a
Protestant sect?

Sir William Browne was son of Nicholas Browne of Snelston, Derbyshire by his wife Eleanor Shirley, heiress of her father Ralph Shirley of Shirley, Derbyshire

Was Nicholas a son of Sir William Browne of Flambard's Hall? by his wife Alice Kebyll ?
Or was Nicholas a son of John Browne of Snelston by his wife Anne Montgomery ?

An account of Sir William Browne's death ...

http://books.google.com/books?id=p0gDAA ... ugh&pgis=1

As I pointed out several years ago, there are literally hundreds of
Browne's letters in the Downshire MSS. and the de L'Isle & Dudley
MSS. I would venture to guess that he is the ancestor of an immigrant
family with the most surviving correspondence (at least of those
living ca. 1575-1625). Probably not even the Winthrop family left as
many surviving letters during this period.
