Hi Minniehaha and Kiwihalfpint

Thank you for the possible deaths for James WALSH. I have not been able to found any death notices to help confirm or eliminate these James WALSH deaths.

In regards to the James WALSH died in 1930. I read that for this to be possible James was a father to children to Ann and to Honora at the same time.

I am not worried that James WALSH may have lived after Anne WALSH nee DEMPSEY who died in 1915. My question is : Harriet her daughter, I assume would state in her affidavit on her mother's death what she believed to be true, in that her father had died since leaving her mother. With Anne dying interstate what would have happened to her property or possessions?

I have also found the death of their daughter Alice Adelina(e) WALSH as Alice Adeline BALDWIN in Hong Kong during World War Two. I have no idea why she was in Hong Kong. 
As her husband was a mariner would I be correct that he would be sailing for the Navy or merchant Navy as this time? I think that they had a daughter Phyllis who also was living in Hong Kong.
Any suggestions how I can confirm this greatly appreciated.

Thanks Helen
