Renault was born on January 22, 1915, to William Rouse and Emmeline Clifton. When Renny was 16 years old he took his father's beloved donkey down to the beach to give it a bath, unfortunately the donkey died and Renny was too scared to go back home and tell his father what happened so he ran away from home by sneaking onto a ship that was leaving the Island for Demerara, Guyana. On June 18, 1932, he arrived from Guyana to New York where he took up residence. In 1935 Renny went to Prison where he stayed for five years. Renny stayed with his half-brother Stephany Grant when he came out of prison and enlisted in the Merchant Navy. He passed away about 1980.
