Frank Heeley Hancox was born in 1869 in Liverpool, Lancashire to Harry Hancox and Maria Mary Hancox (née Merrett) [1] He had three brothers, Harry_Merrett_Hancox, Charles_Edward_Hancox and Richard_James_Hancox.
In the 1891 Census, Frank was living with his family at 30 Edge Lane and was a Student of medicine.[2] But in 1892, he is recorded as leaving England for South Africa on the Grantully Castle[3] and nothing more shows with regard to his medical studies in England.
He married Ethel Chard Nelson in South Africa[4] and it is probable that he had a photographic studio known as Hancox and Wensch, Rembrandt Studios, 46 du Toits Road, Kimberley, Northern Cape, South Africa. There is a record of a photograph that he took of Cecil Rhodes and 9 directors of the De Beers Co. on 2 January 1899, which is held at the National Archives, Kew, London.[5]
He and Ethel had children, the descendents of whom were living in Durban in 2016.[6]
He died aged 39 on 24 February 1909 in Kimberley, South Africa.[7][8]
