According to the family 'Beth was raising Fred as a single mother, because his father was killed on the Western Front in World War I, when Fred was an infant. She raised Fred while her sister Jean was also raising her son Jack alone. Beth came out with Fred to Australia, after the rest of her family migrated, and Fred and Jack were raised together.'
