Frank Loring McLean (b. 1889) gets his middle name from his maternal grandmother’s maiden name. He moved to QLD sometime before 1930. He married a Danish woman named Louise Augusta Grave Olsen (nee Larsen) in 1930.

Louise was born in Copenhagen in 1883 and moved to Australia with husband Wilhelm Olsen. She had 3 children with her first husband, Louis (b. 1902), Frederick (1905) and Otto (1907). Wilhelm died in 1928. It is assumed Frank McLean met Louise sometime after this and they were married in 1930. It is not known if he had any relationship with his stepchildren. Frank was listed in 1928 as being the Brisbane Manager for a J.C. Williamson company, a dance and theatre production company.

Louise was fined and charged in 1937 for not stamping an unemployment book for an employee. She was working at what was probably a family business of her ex husband “Olsens clothing and shirt manufacturers”.
