Frederick dies intestate, the lawyer does state in correspondence that he doubts that Wilhelmina was legally married as she could not produce marriage cert, could not remember where, when or who had married them!!! The lawyer describes her as either covering the truth or rather simple of mind - the estate was not worth anything in the end (property in Aus) so she and the 3 sons did not inherit anyway.

The next positive sighting that I have for Frederick is 10/10/1900 when me marries Wilhelmina Orm in Durban, South Africa. 

So - to confirm - you haven't actually seen this marriage cert then?

Even if Fred never actually married Wilhelmina, it appears that Eleanor DID marry Thomas Collier .

No, marraige date was mentioned on death notice, but no cert.
