He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in June 1891.〔 〕 He was President of the Chemical Society from 1911 to 1913, a position his father had held before him.〔 In 1882 Frankland married Grace (née Toynbee), the daughter of Joseph Toynbee. She worked with both Percy and his father and was described at the time as having "worthily aided and seconded ()".〔Quoted in 〕 The couple co-authored papers on bacteria and other microorganisms found in the air and water.〔Frankland, Percy; Frankland, Grace Coleridge Toynbee. "Micro-organisms in water: their significance, identification and removal, together with an account of the bacteriological methods employed in their investigation, specially designed for the use of those connected with the sanitary aspects of water-supply." Longmans, Green, 1894.〕 Frankland received an honorary doctorate (LL.D.) from the University of St Andrews in February 1902. He was awarded a CBE in 1920 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.〔 Frankland died in 1946 at Loch Awe in Argyllshire, Scotland.
