Now, go to his device,settings>privacy>turn location services on then down to "share my location" tap that and then from "this device" underneath that it will show you under family, select to share. His device will now appear under the "find my phone" settings in the app as well as the details tab in messages. It will also show in "find my friends" that you can configure to show in the Notification Center.
I finally got it.....basically along the lines of what you stated. We had to create different iCloud accounts. Then he added me to the family . I could not see him online last night because he didnt click on the option to share his location. But I did that now and that should work now. Thanks guys for helping out an iPhone newbie.....
