Despite his long residence and marriage to a British subject he was subjected in 1877 to a poll tax (under South Australia's Chinese Regulation Bill).

Another celebrated victim of a similar law, but in New South Wales, was Way Lee.

Francis Albert "Bert" Francis (16 August 1874 – 21 September 1913) was born at Gumeracha and on leaving school settled at Mannum, where he became a boat engineer.

He later built the trading steamers Royal and Waikerie (the latter of which he was part-owner with Captain William Tinks). He was a successful real-estate developer, largely responsible for the township of Waikerie. In 1896 he married Amelia Clara Bertha Strempel (1874–1972) of Mannum.
