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.
