Jo, you're asking who James Bylos/Demetrius parents were - did you follow up on the immigration papers I advised?

His marriage certificate in 1944 should name his parents also.

Hi marieceleste, I'm so sorry I read your message wrong.
I'm hoping to get the immigration papers in the next couple of weeks I thought it said the death certificate.

The Leonard that I posted was a Clerk after the war but that's not to say he didn't serve in the Navy during the war but I very much doubt he would have been an Admiral. Could Admiral have been a bit of glorifying of his position? If you could access the death notice in The Sydney Herald in May give more information about his life. Failing that his death certificate would give details of his children?


EDIT

I don't see a death for his wife but I suppose she could have remarried after he died.

"Hi there, just wandering if you could help me find Leonard James Francis McGrath, which I believe to be my real grandfather. He married a gwenneth laws and had two children to that marriage. Thank you jo"

Jo - did you ever get your mother's full birth certificate to check the father's name? If so, what did it say re: her father? If not, well I think that's the next step.
