Thank you so much for this information. Is there any confirmation of where Dorothea and William were born. I believe my grandmother Dorothea was from Irish descent, but not sure where in Ireland? My aunt Enid told me that her father, William used to be in the motorcycle business and the frequently went to the races on the Isle of Man.

I also believe my grandmother raised her three daughters on Dyke Road in Brighton. While in Brighton in the 90's I visited Enid at her residence at 29 Buckingham Place and she advised that my father Mike Schaub had been billeted around the corner on Bath Street. She also advised that the family "local" was a pub directly across the road from their Dyke Road residence. I looked it up and it is now called the "Good Companion Pub".

Thank you again for your information.
Best regards
John

Hi, I am new to the forum, so forgive any errors.
My mother was Margaret Olive Rous and lived in Brighton in the 1940's. She and her sisters, Jean, Nora, and Enid were locally well known for their dancing routines, at first in local pubs and then later danced for the troops. My father, Harold (Mike) Schaub was billeted in Brighton prior to D-Day and met my mother there. He was on leave to Canada following VE day, waiting to be sent to Japan when the war ended. He sent for my mother and they were married in Kitchener, Ontario in 1947. Her mother was Doreatha O'Conner, who is now buried in the Brighton cemetery. I am looking for any trace of them when in Brighton or any Canadian veterans who remember Mike Schaub.
Thanks
John
