Trying to trace the wife (Sophia nee Levene) of Lord George Brown. Mother's maiden name was Mordecai. Do you know Sophia's mothers first name, parents etc..?

You mean George Brown, the labour peer? Id have thought there should be a site with some info on - have you tried a google search? I just did and the first hit tells me her dad was Solomon, a book binder.

And by using freebmd - here is her birth, you could buy the cert for £7 from GRO online.That will be the only way to be sure.
