Dorothy Lindop Brown was born in London on November 6, 1916. She married W. David Latham at The Scots Kirk, Bombay (India), on April 17, 1952.

Her bio in UBC Alumni Chronicle 1962 Spring:

An unusual job, in which her socialwork training comes in handy, is held by Mrs. David Latham (Dorothy Lindop Brown, BA ’39) who runs the Commonwealth Marriage Bureau in Vancouver under the name of Mrs. Lin Brown. Her background includes working among B.C. fishermen on a co-operative education programme sponsored by the U.B.C. extension department, working in adult education in Saskatchewan, and with a UNESCO conference in Denmark. She followed this with a year in Paris, trips to Spain and Africa and a year in London where she met her schoolteacher husband. She is the mother of three children.

She was one of the fourteen founders of Vancity (Vancouver City Savings Credit Union) on September 28, 1946. As noted by author Herschel Hardin in his 1996 book Working Dollars: The VanCity Story:

Lin Brown — Dorothy Lindop Brown was her full name — was a field worker with the UBC extension department and had organized credit unions up the coast, Antigonish style.
