Married: Teresa Ann Linton - 18 August 1883 - Maryborough, Queensland

Buried: 25 February 1935

Frederick, was a seaman and signed up to sail the SS Silver Eagle to Australia in 1882. The ship departed Plymouth on 11 February 1882 with Teresa Ann Linton and her sister Elizabeth aboard as 'free' passengers. It arrived in Maryborough on 7 June. The entire crew of the ship were unhappy with their contracts and deserted. Three seamen were arrested and sentenced to three months jail in Maryborough. Frederick hid out at the nearby Gayndah Hotel for a month but was arrested and charged with desertion. He appeared in the Maryborough Magistrates Court on 14 August 1882 but as there was no appearance of a prosecutor he was discharged.

Frederick and Teresa married in Maryborough on 18 August 1883 and settled in the nearby township of Granville, opening a general store at their house in William Street. Their first child - Louisa - was born on 8 March 1884, followed by Arthur (1885), Robert (1887), Frederick Ernest (1889), Eva (1891) and Herbert "Bert" Stanley in 1893. Bert is the subject of this biography.

The couple subsequently had Ethel in 1895, Teresa (1897) and Reginald (1899). All children attended East Maryborough State School - later to be called Granville State School. Bert Back's school enrollment began on 31 August 1898 just as he was about to turn 5 years old.
