Lewis Strickland Tatham (Fatham) Lookup

[Alders]

Hello i wonder if you could help me find this chap after 1881
Lewis Strickland Tanner b 1854 Huddersfield UK, to Thomas Tatham & Sophia Hornblower
I can find him on the 1861,71 & 1881 UK census returns and can see that he got married in Apr/May/Jun 1881 in Nottingham to either Mary Helena Allsop. I Can't pick them up after that He as far as i can tell did not work but lived off a stipend from the family.
asking on the UK forum it looks like there was a divorce in Cape Town in 1888 of Lewis Strickland Fatham & Mary Helena Annie Fatham formely Allsop (born Thornton)
It looks like Mary Helena was born in Pimlico Middlessex (UK) in 1848
Can any one tell if either remarried or died in Cape Town?

Hope you can help.

If you search in NAIRS (not always easy) there is an index entry for a 1923 Transvaal estate file for Mary Helena Kirby (nee Thornton). Surviving spouse Tom Hodgson Kirby.

And there's a Transvaal death for a Hodgson Kirby in 1939 noting a predeceased spouse Mary Helena Kirby (formerly White) (born Thornton).
