Frank Carter

Frank was a gasfitter. He married Elsie May Viggers in 1911.

It seemed unproven that Frank Carter 1888 was the father of Arthur Viggers Carter, until the electoral roll showed Frank (1888, gasfitter) with Elsie May (Arthurs parents) living with Frank Carter (carrier) in 1914, who is the husband of Harriet (they are Frank 1888's parents), see 1913 below. 1914 is the last we see of Frank's father on the elec roll, adding credence that we have the correct death record for him. The Carter family are found living in various locations around the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne from 1903 to 1931. See below.
