I don't know if you've seen these, but this death record for Frederick has him listed as married, but no wife's name is on there - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-68KS-668?i=305&cc=2128172

This coroner's report details how he died due to an accident at the saw mill (and the details are a bit gory) - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99Z5-VWQR?i=821&cc=2128172

A gruesome workplace accident!
Probably no guards around the moving parts.  Today there would all sorts of inquiries here in Australia if something like that happened.
Thanks for the links.
