Doug and Margaret had 3 sons, John, David and Paul; all sons wrestled and had varying degrees of success. Doug and John both won the open City of Sydney(Aus) in their respective weight division at the 1968 tournament, the first and only father and son combination to have achieved this.

Margaret continued to support the international fraternity and was the assistant tournament controller at the Christchurch Commonwealth Games in 1974.
