Francis is not included in the 1921 Book or the Scroll and perhaps this is because of an error. An entry exists against Star in the East for an unregistered "Frederick Mortimer" and it is possible that incorrect details have been recorded. For Francis, his record shows in the register at United Grand Lodge "Died 3/8/1916 in arrears"
