Without seeing the original of the article mentioned by ErikaH - this is the only item in the "North Country Notes" concerning Frederick Browne.
The bad transcription runs all the "Notes" together as if they were one item.

NORTH COUNTRY NOTES

Frederick Browne, whose death has just taken place at Seaham Harbour, was the poase.v,or [ possesssor ?] five shilling piece given him Charles Dickens .
When Dickens visited Sunderland August, 1852, in connection with his : with other literary celebrities, in aid of the Guild of Literature and ATt, he appeared as an actor at the Lyceum Theatre. Mr Browne, who was then boy of fourteen, was employed at the theatre as a call-boy, and something he did so pleased the great novelist that gave him crown piece, and the recipient had sufficient appreciation of the donor to preserve the gift to the end of his life.

Mary Eleanor and Frederick William are two of his many children.


List of cemeteries in Seaham area.

It doesn’t appear to be on Deceasedonline.

You can look up the probate record yourself by using the gov.uk site - just Google probate records.

Contact the parks and cemetery dept of the local council giving details from the death certificate

Chances are he was buried or cremated in a council run cemetery or crematorium

Councils keep excellent records

Thankyou I was just wondering if there was a. Newspaper article but thanks again.

Contact the nearest cemetery to the address on his death cert. Find by googling.

EDIT
The Probate record gives his place of death as Seaham Harbour, which is where he was in 1911
