This  1895 reference goes so far as to credit a  specific  originator:

"According to the Lady, to be fashionable nowadays  we  must “brunch.” 
Truly an excellent portmanteau word, introduced, by the  way,  last year, 
by Mr. 
GUY BERINGER, in the now defunct Hunter's  Weekly, and  indicating a 
combined  
breakfast"
