Indeed, when i grew up i knew Betty as Betty Holmes my grandmother.
Ive been trying to find Walter George Griffin for some time. He wasnt at Walter Ezras funeral but he did remarry it seems. Hence the mr and mrs W Griffin.
Doreen moved to Australia in 1956, is it possible Walter George Griffin did too?

I don;t think so - the wording of the newspaper report suggests it was only the daughter who was now in Australia

I have an obituary for Ronald J Griffin from 2021 which says Walter George is deceased. So we know he died between 1980 and 2021
