Definitely Frank Peers, his fifth child was a son, Donald wrote that his father was born in Ash. I have found a death record for Frank Peers on 14 May 1953, age 83, Swansea district, which I believe to be Donald's father. After leaving school Frank worked his passage to Africa, and eventually found his way to New York, then to Chicago in the year of the great World's Fair of 1893. Here, he met Mary Rees. Mary was from Wales, they married the following year.

They had two sons, then moved to Wales where they had two daughters, after which Donald was born in on July 10th 1908. Frank never returned to Ash, but in April 1911 the census shows that Mary and Donald visited Creton Court, Nash Road, Ash, the home of Henry Court, a market gardener. Donald was only 2 years old. Their home was in the Ammanford/Betsw area of Wales.

The only record I can find is that for Fank's wife and son in the 1911 census.

Frank's wife, Mary Marie Rees, was Welsh, no Lancashire connections, she was born in 1870 in Llengwicke, Glamorgan, and died in 1929 at Ammanford.
