On the image, in the column headed "Name and address of nearest relative", it says;

"No Relatives. Royal Sailors' Rest, Portsmouth."

Poor Frank! Every one of the other 40 men listed on that page has a parent, sibling, or other relative named.

He is an intriguing mystery.
There seems to be no record of him anywhere before 1892 when he first joined the Navy.
