The second of four children, Norman was born in 1881 at Carrick in Tasmania to Alfred Arthur Frost (b1847 in Launceston, Tasmania) and Mary Ann Sherwood(b1843 in Middlesex, England). Mary Ann was a Domestic Servant in Surrey, England before arriving in Tasmania. Arthur (a Carpenter) and Mary Ann married in Launceston in 1878 and settled in Westbury where Arthur was a Carpenter and Labourer.
