Ted was the eldest of four children of Hector Charles Henry Ludowici (born 1895 in Sydney, NSW) and Dorothy (Dorrie) Alfreda Baynes (born 1893 in Essex, England). Hector (a Belt Maker) and Dorrie married in 1921 in Sydney, NSW and settled there to raise their family. Hector established Mangrovite Belting Coy - a leather belt manufacturer, currier, tanner and importer - of which he was the Company Secretary/Director. Following Dorrie's death in 1931, Hector remarried and in 1938 relocated to New Zealand.
