War Bride


This being the 60th anniversary of the Canadian War Brides we thought we would check out one of our own. My Aunt, Jessie Brown, as it turns out was a war bride. She married my Uncle Ron (my mothers brother) in England and in September 1946, she and their son Colin boarded the passenger ship Aquitania and departed Southampton for Canada. Unfortunately things didn't work out for Uncle Ron and Aunt Jess, and in the early 50's she returned to England with their two sons, Colin and Doug. The families have lost touch.
