Hi Kandi,

Perhaps you have further details about Basil and about John.   I have many questions, but perhaps the following ones are a good starting point.

  From Basil's marriage certificate who were recorded as his parents?  When and where did that marriage take place?
  From John's marriage certificate who were recorded as his parents? When and where did that marriage take place?

Where did I get the name Lloyd Thomas WALSH? Did I imagine it?

Kandi, have you edited your post where you named Basil's father? As a courtesy, and for clarity, it is always a good idea to let people know when you modify a post, usually by making an addendum at the bottom of the post.

I don't recall any mention of any Lloyd Thomas in the opening post in either of its iterations, but I fully support Maddy's comments re annotating posts that are subject to modification.   I read the newspaper cutting and there is a mention of Mr Basil Walsh among the mourners.

Is this Basil's brother? Also named Lloyd Thomas WALSH?

I may have distracted Kandi early on in the thread re my concerns about Basil and I am not yet sure if Kandi has confirmed that 'her' great grandfather Basil did not die 1909/1911.  I think he is the lad who married Vera in January 1930.

Supreme Court of Tasmania, Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.  (Probate Court) - Intestacy.
15105, pg 205.    (Sorry, I am not familiar with Tasmanian Probate Files, hope that is sufficient for referencing and locating)

Basil Charles Douglas WALSH of Glendale, Bishopsbourne, Tasmania, Retired Cook, died 21 May 1977, intestate …

8 September 1977 Letters of Administration (as he died intestate, ie without a valid will), so the court granted the Admon to ‘the lawful daughter of the deceased’ (named and further identified by her then address). 

I have refrained from typing up her name, as she may well be still living,  and likely born 1930s.  I can see her with her husband in the 1960s, on various electoral rolls in Tasmania (same address as on the Admon file.)   This couple may well be our OP's living grandparents.

_{Admon - If a person died without leaving a will (intestate), someone (usually a relative) could apply to the probate court for a grant of administration, which would allow them to deal with the estate. Also called Letters of Administration}
