His son Frank married Violet Gertrude Strong (a.k.a. Auntie Gert), they are pictured with their nephew Frank Victor Allfrey. It's quite a coincidence (and quite confusing!) that Frank (junior) married a girl with the same name as his sister, but then both the Allfrey's and the Richardson's had more than their fair share of Frank's and Ernest's as well.
