Burke reports (LG of 1937, p. 44) that he married a Patricia Ivy Collins in 1933. But no sign of this can be found anywhere.
Family Search has produced an image of the marriage register for his second marriage on 14 April 1945 to Joyce Gwendolen née Field. The marriage was at the Wesley Church Pretoria, Transvaal and he was 36 and she was 31.
I do not know if he had any children by either marriage.
