Frank was the son of Edward and Annie Mann.
He was a test captain against South Africa in 1922-3.
His son, George also held the same position 26 years later
George's son Simon has had less happy connections with Africa. He has served three years in a Zimbabwean jail and is threatened with extradition to Equatorial Guinea following his involvement with Mark Thatcher, member of a still more famous English family, in an attempted coup three years ago.
