Library and FHS Lookups / ROUS sisters - BRIGHTON
« on: Friday 11 January 19 15:12 GMT (UK) »
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
