Frank was baptised at St John the Baptist church on 19 Sep 1894 when the Ayre family were living at 117 Albany Road. He joined the Merchant Navy in 1910 at the age of 16. He passed his Second Mate qualifications in Aug 1916 and his First Mate qualification in Feb 1918. On 26 Nov 1918 he married Edith Gwendoline Colley at St Andrew's parish church. His address at that time was 183 Whitchurch Road. They had six children together, the first born in Cardiff and the others in Newport. In 1925 he set up a company Frank.A.Ayre & Co selling paints, colours, varnishes and oil importers. The company also sold grates, mantelpieces and stoves. In 1928 however the receiver was called in. In 1933 there is mention in the press of Frank Ayre of Newport developing properties in Troy, Monmouth. In 1940 it appears he had returned to the Merchant Navy and he passed his Captain's exam. He died on 15 Sep 1941, aged 47, when the S.S.Empire Eland was torpedoed in mid-Atlantic. The Empire Eland had been built in USA in 1920 and originally called the West Kedron before being handed over to Britain in 1940. The S.S.Empire Eland had been part of a convoy but had been straggling behind when attacked. Thirty one crew members and five gunners were lost. Frank Austin Ayre is commemorated on the Tower Hill Memorial (panel 40).

Longcross House which had previously occupied the site was demolished c.1844 to make way for the building of the barracks. On census night 1851, 103 persons were at the barracks, 82 of whom were soldiers, mostly Irish. Although fully occupied in 1871 the only persons there in when the 1861 census was taken were three Chelsea pensioners!
