Married in 1915 in Victoria to Margaret Emily Hope (1894-1936). His only son Frank was born in 1916. This must have been after Frank (Snr) had embarked for Alexandria. This would have been a wrench for the couple and especially after the lad's father died when he was 2. Margaret was a nurse and she re-married in 1926 to Edward Christensen Baldwin.
