His parents were still living at Rookwood when his father passed in 1910.

When he was entered in the nominal roll for the 3rd Wellington Infantry Battalion, as Frederick Marton Keightley, he was recorded as single and his N.O.K. was recorded as his mother Mrs. Mary Keightley, Rookwood, Warwick, Queensland.
