Following the death of his first wife in 1894 at age 52,[4] Badgery married a second time to Alice May King in 1896[5] who died late that year aged 38.[6] He then married a third time in 1900 to Sybella Louisa, née Hooke.[7] Badgery had six children, four sons and two daughters, in his first marriage and three children, two sons and a daughter, by his third marriage.[1]
