Is Ford Madox Brown's lastname properly Brown or Madox Brown?
His father was Brown, his children were all Madox Brown, but some of his grandchildren used Madox as a middlename. It seems most references to Ford Madox Brown use his full name. But if I wanted only to use his lastname, what should it be?

Best answer: 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica files him in the B volume.

Best answer: The Manchester Art Gallery also refers to him by his last name which they say is Brown, as does The Guardian.
