Dyson Family of Worcestershire
© Jeff Dyson - November 2006
Ron met his future wife, Dorcas Edith Hollebone, the daughter of Bertram Claud Hollebone and Edith Annie Blundell, through their membership of an Operatic Society. Ron had a good voice and as well as singing the lead in a number of productions was a chorister at St Mary's Church, Upper St James’ Street, Brighton. The Society ran a group holiday to the Channel Islands which they both attended.

They married on 2nd September 1939, at St Mary’s Church, Brighton, just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War and had to cut short their honeymoon in the West Country and return home because petrol went onto ration and there was fear of invasion. At the time of their marriage they lived with Dorcas’s parents at 103 Stanford Avenue Brighton and soon afterwards moved to their own property at 112 Hollingbury Park Avenue, Brighton were they remained until 1965.
