Talk:George Roubicek

Date of birth
I believe George Roubicek’s date of birth to be 25 May 1935. On Find My Past/Ancestry, there’s an Immigration and Travel record for a George Rowbicek leaving Southampton for Australia on 7 September 1959. When you click on the record, it lists him as an actor (http://oi41.tinypic.com/6dxs34.jpg). I’ve added Roubicek as an AKA for this entry.

Roubicek did some work down under in the late 50s/early sixties in theatre (http://www.ausstage.edu.au/pages/contributor/418760) as well as TV such as the show Whiplash.

As for the W, well I don’t know how records were done back then. Perhaps they were hand written and typed up and the person doing it misread the U as W or George may have pronounced his surname as Rowbicek causing the person taking the records to think that was his surname. Therefore, I think 25-May-1935 is his date of birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.120.124 (talk) 17:45, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
