Biography
Harriet Mary Browne Owen was born in Liverpool, England. Her father was a Liverpool merchant and her mother was the daughter of the Austrian and Tuscan consul to Liverpool. The family moved to Wales and she grew up near Abergele and St. Asaph in Flintshire. She composed a number of musical works but was confused during her lifetime with another composer, making attribution of her works difficult and, in some publications, she was identified as “Miss Brown.” She was also known under the pseudonym Mrs. Hughes. Her sister was popular poet Felicia Dorothea Browne Hemans and, in addition to her musical compositions, she wrote “The works of Mrs. Hemans, with a memoir by her sister.”
