Personal Notes:

Born at Tumut on 14 Sep 1919, Frank was the second son of Norman Baylis Mackenzie born 1880 at Maitland. Descended from a noble Scottish family, he set up a law practice in Tumut about 1912 - not long after he married Mildred Todhunter at Goulburn. N.B Mackenzie was a well-esteemed solicitor who was very tall and described as 'a fine stamp of a man'.
It was appropriate that Frank chose banking as a career. Australia's first bank The Bank of New South Wales - (Westpac these days), opened its doors in April 1817. Alexander Kenneth Mackenzie, Frank's great-great-grandfather, came to Australia in 1822 on the Admiral Cockburn meaning to carryon business as a merchant. Instead in 1823 he became the Bank's secretary and cashier. He was also
first president of the Bathurst Bank when it opened in 1835.
Given a grant of 230 acres called Dochairn near Bathurst in 1823, he purchased a further 2000 acres. In 1838 his third son took over the property and Alexander spent his retirement at Newlands, Parramatta. Many of his descendants joined various banks in the intervening years.
Nan already knew Frank slightly; not only had he been a highschool friend of her brother Frank, they were in the same Army unit - 22 Brigade HQ, and both had recently returned from three and a half appalling years as Prisoners of War on the infamous Burma Railway. It didn't take very long for a romance to blossom.
Nan and Frank had a full choral wedding when they wed on 22 Nov 1947 at All Saints, Tumut where her great-grandparents had wed 82 years previously! Sister Betty and cousin Jean were Nan's attendants, Frank's brother Rod was best man. Genuine Brussels lace worn by her mother-in-law on her own wedding day trimmed Nan's wedding gown and she wore a veil of handmade Honiton lace.
The wedding was written up in great detail in the local paper including the fact their honeymoon was spent driving to Melbourne, the South Coast, Sydney and Canberra. Housing was in very short supply and they began their married life in Frank's mother's house in Wynyard Street, Tumut.
Their first two children Roderick and Susan were born in Tumut. The next year Frank was transferred to Bankstown branch in Sydney and whilst living at Dulwich Hill, Mark arrived. They moved to Croydon Park and with the three children in school, Nan learned typing ready to start work as a nurse/receptionist
for a local doctor, but the birth of Stuart in 1957 put paid to that idea! About eight years later Frank was appointed manager of a new branch at Telopea and they bought a home in Norfolk Avenue in the leafy suburb of Epping.
Nan did night-nursing at nearby Poplars Private Hospital then about 1970 went to Union Carbide in charge of First Aid. Abad back forced Frank's early retirement so they bought five acres at Arcadia with an orchard and pool,later moving to Green Point on the Central Coast.
In his younger days Frank had been an avid tennis player but as his sons were growing up, he switched sports and became coach of the Epping Hockey Club for which they all played. But golf was his real passion and he revelled in the great courses on the Central Coast.
Early in 1987 Frank had a triple bypass but soon after a brain tumour was diagnosed. He and Nan went up to Brisbane to stay with son Mark but Frank's health declined fairly rapidly. Hospitalised in Brisbane and at Wynnum, his cancer soon became widespread. Frank died in Brisbane General Hospital on 11 Feb 1988 and was buried four days later at Hernmant Cemetery.
