Kellaway's father, William Hamley Kellaway, had a joinery and picture frame business in Bristol, where Frederick was born. He became a journalist and then edited a number of local newspapers in Lewisham, before being elected to Parliament in 1910.
Kellaway served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions 1916–1920; Secretary for Overseas Trade 1920–1921; and Postmaster General 1921–1922 in the Coalition Government 1916-1922. He was appointed to the Privy Council in the 1920 Birthday Honours.
