Ronald Brown (born 7 August 1926)[2] was the Suffragan Bishop of Birkenhead[3] from 1974 until 1992.[4]
Brown was educated at Durham University. After a curacy at St Laurence Chorley[5] he was vicar of Whittle-le-Woods. Following this he was vicar of St Thomas', Halliwell, Bolton and then (his final appointment before his ordination to the episcopate) rural dean of Ashton-under-Lyne.[6] In retirement he continued to serve as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Liverpool until 2003. As of 2011, Brown had returned to live in Chester,[2] but there is no confirmation that he is licensed as a bishop in that diocese.
