Farmer, municipal official.
Born in Somerset, England on 14 March 1879, he immigrated to Manitoba in 1895, settling in the Ogilvie district where he operated a grain, cattle, sheep, pig and poultry farm. In April 1899, he married Kate Woodings (?-?) with whom he had a daughter and two sons. He was a councillor (1926-1944) and Reeve (1944-1945) of the Rural Municipality of Westbourne, being replaced in the latter position by Clifford Alexander McCrae. Browning served on the Executive of the Union of Manitoba Municipalities and was its president in 1941 and 1942. He was appointed to the Manitoba Assessment Equalization and Appeal Board after the Second World War, and he remained on the Board at the time of his death, in October 1958.
