Probably following her friend Kitty Crompton wedding in 1927 where France was a brides maid
she became a Pen Pal to Kitty's brother Harry who had recently emmigrated to Kenya and was homesick,
and the correspondace blossomed into romance,
and a marriage proposal and acceptace.
when Frances told her mother, Louisa, that she was going to Kenya to marry Harry,
Louisa didn’t speak to her daughter for months.
However, Frances's Uncle Gervase henry Roberts and his son George William
bought her ticket for the boat, got her a trunk and helped her get all she needed in
the way of clothes, and finally took her down to the docks and saw her off on the boat.
Frances arrived in Mombassa Kenya on the 10th January 1930 , and was married the same day.
