There is no Sally born to parents with those names as far as I can see before the 1960s.

With such a common name as George Brown, and given that it is after the last census, you may need to get the marriage certificate. That would give you his age and his father's name and occupation and you may then be able to find him in 1911.

An online tree shows her to be born Leah Biggs (bc 1881) and marrying a John William Owen in 1899.

A copy of the 1920 marriage certificate is the way to go.
