In the Paddington Bear stories, what are the names of the Brown children?

The story behind the answer

In the Paddington Bear stories, the Brown children are Judy and Jonathan. They are the two young members of the family who help Paddington adjust to his new life in London.

Judy and Jonathan are siblings, and both become involved in Paddington’s adventures. Their personalities and reactions help show how the bear affects different parts of family life. They may accompany him on outings, support him during problems and sometimes become involved in the consequences of his enthusiastic plans.

The children’s names are easy to mix up because the family is often introduced collectively as the Browns. Mary and Henry are their parents, while Mrs Bird is the household’s housekeeper. Paddington is not their biological sibling, but he becomes a member of the family after the Browns take him in.
