History
George Brown was born in Purton near Swindon, England, and educated at Cambridge University. He was a tea planter in Ceylon before retiring to Combe Manor, Inkpen, near Newbury. He was also an amateur ornithologist who wrote observations on local birdlife, e. g., "Notes on the Hill-Migrating Birds of Ceylon," published around 1930.
