Hello i couldn't answer the full question so, heres how far i got.

I have found a newspaper article regarding his two daughters, Jane
Salvi and Barbara Mclean

Francis Ouimet’s daughters
http://www.capecodonline.com/cctimes/archives/1999/sept/21/ouimet21.htm

His niece was Dolly Sullivan

And a new book of his life story is due out soon.

Which should answer all your questions. 

I hope someone can pick up where i left off and answer the question
you set.

Hi,
I too was unable to find all the information you need, however I did
find out that his father's name was Arthur, mother's name Mary and
older brother's name Wilfred.
I don't know if he married, but he did have a girlfriend called
Stella.
I found this information in the following article:

I hope this helps,
Ali

Another biographical source I found says that his father's name was
LOUIS OUIMET (and yes, he was a French Canadian immigrant), and that
on Sept. 11, 1918 he married STELLA M. SULLIVAN and they had 2
children, and he died in Newton, MA.  There is a museum of Ouimet
papers/memorabilia at www.ouimet.org, so perhaps you could contact
them to ask your questions and they probably have an expert on staff
who could provide definitive answers.  You didn't mention why you
wanted the information--are you doing a book or article about him? 
Were you aware that an American postage stamp had been issued in his
honor?

In my message of December 5, I forgot to mention that if you visit the
website www.ouimet.org, you need to at least view the page for 10
seconds or more since they have revised it so that a newly-revised
website with related Ouimet information will appear to replace the old
webpage.

SINCERELY,
